426 Chapter 19: Using the XML Parser Xtra
This requirement applies to documents parsed by
parseString()
as well as files that are parsed
by
parseURL()
.
The XML Parser Xtra supports the following character sets:
•
ISO-8859-1 Also called Latin 1. This is the most common Western encoding used on the
web. It matches the default character set used on Windows in most Western countries. It does
not match the character set used in most Western versions of the Mac OS (MacRoman) and
does not match character sets commonly used in most non-Western countries. The first 127
characters (binary codes 1-127) are the same in most countries.
•
UTF-8 An 8-bit encoding of the Unicode character set. This is the XML default character set.
•
US-ASCII
Supports only 7-bit characters.
•
EUC-JP The EUC character set, used widely in Japan.
•
SHIFT_JIS Also used widely in Japan. Shift-JIS is the character set used by default in Japanese
versions of Windows and the Mac OS.
•
UTF-16
A 16-bit encoding of the Unicode character set.
For many developers, Latin 1 is the most convenient encoding to use.
