2.1 Overview

The Advanced Tools Module provides the classes you need to internationalize and localize your applications. The Advanced Tools Module contains four functional groups:

• The Unicode String Processing group contains classes for representing, normalizing, collating, and parsing Unicode strings.

• The Character Encoding Scheme Conversion group contains classes for converting string to and from UTF-16, the character encoding scheme used internally to store Unicode strings.

• The Localization group contains classes for identifying a specific user community, and for storing and accessing locale-dependent data.

• The Error Handling group contains classes and globals for reporting errors from the Advanced Tools Module.

The tables in the remainder of this chapter list and briefly describe the classes in each group.
