- Method Detail
  - getEncoder
```
Encoder getEncoder()
```
    Returns:
    
    the Encoder instance that create this state object.
  - reset
```
EncoderState reset()
```
    Resets any intermediate state back to default values.
    
    Returns:
    
    this EncoderState instance.
  - encodeUTF8
```
ProtonBuffer encodeUTF8(ProtonBuffer buffer,
                        java.lang.CharSequence sequence)
                 throws EncodeException
```
    Encodes the given sequence of characters in UTF8 to the given buffer.
    
    Parameters:
    
    buffer - A ProtonBuffer where the UTF-8 encoded bytes should be written.
    
    sequence - A CharSequence representing the UTF-8 bytes to encode
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to the encoding buffer for chaining
    
    Throws:
    
    EncodeException - if an error occurs while encoding the CharSequence
