- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### CharFilterFactory

          protected CharFilterFactory(Map<String,String> args)

      Initialize this factory via a set of key-value pairs.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### forName

          public static CharFilterFactory forName(String name,
                                                  Map<String,String> args)

      looks up a charfilter by name from context classpath

    - #### lookupClass

          public static Class<? extends CharFilterFactory> lookupClass(String name)

      looks up a charfilter class by name from context classpath

    - #### availableCharFilters

          public static Set<String> availableCharFilters()

      returns a list of all available charfilter names

    - #### reloadCharFilters

          public static void reloadCharFilters(ClassLoader classloader)

      Reloads the factory list from the given `ClassLoader`. Changes to the factories are visible after the method ends, all iterators (`availableCharFilters()`,...) stay consistent.

      NOTE: Only new factories are added, existing ones are never removed or replaced.

      This method is expensive and should only be called for discovery of new factories on the given classpath/classloader!

    - #### create

          public abstract Reader create(Reader input)

      Wraps the given Reader with a CharFilter.
