## Class FileWriterWithEncoding

- java.lang.Object
- - java.io.Writer
  - - org.apache.commons.io.output.FileWriterWithEncoding

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, Flushable, Appendable, AutoCloseable

      public class FileWriterWithEncoding
      extends Writer

  Writer of files that allows the encoding to be set.

  This class provides a simple alternative to `FileWriter` that allows an encoding to be set. Unfortunately, it cannot subclass `FileWriter`.

  By default, the file will be overwritten, but this may be changed to append.

  The encoding must be specified using either the name of the `Charset`, the `Charset`, or a `CharsetEncoder`. If the default encoding is required then use the `FileWriter` directly, rather than this implementation.
