Hi Folks,
I spoke with George Cristian Bina from oXygen XML and he gave me the scoop on how things work inside oXygen.
George told me to do this:
1. Create an iso-8859-1 encoded XML file.
2. Using a hex editor, change encoding="iso-8859-1" to encoding="utf-8"
3. Drag and drop the file into oXygen.
4. oXygen will generate an encoding exception:
Cannot open the specified file. Got a character
encoding exception [snip]
Next, here is something George told me. It is mind-blowing:
If you have an iso-8859-1 encoded XML file loaded into oXygen
and change encoding="iso-8859-1" to encoding="utf-8" then
oXygen will automatically change the encoding of every character
in the document to UTF-8.
Wow!
That is so fantastic, I jumped out of my chair when I read it.
I just received this additional information from George:
Please note that the encoding is important only when the file is loaded
and saved. When the file is loaded the bytes are converted to characters
and then the application works only with characters. When the file is
saved then those characters need to be converted to bytes and the
encoding used will be determined from the XML header with a default to
UTF-8 if no encoding can be detected.
