Constructs a new String by decoding the specified array of bytes using the platform's default charset. The length of the new String is a function of the charset, and hence may not be equal to the length of the byte array.

The behavior of this constructor when the given bytes are not valid in the default charset is unspecified. The java.nio.charset.CharsetDecoder class should be used when more control over the decoding process is required.

Parameters:

bytes

The bytes to be decoded into characters
