---------------------------------------
Summary: charset extensibility
Key: DAFFODIL-2560
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2560
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Front End
Affects Versions: 3.1.0
Reporter: Mike Beckerle
A feature has been requested which would allow DFDL users to define their own
character sets.
This would require a new annotation object in the dfdl extensions (dfdlx)
namespace where the charset would be described.
This is low priority because Daffodil is open source, and it really only takes
8 lines of code to define a new charset.
User have asked to be able to define charsets outside of Daffodil proper, but
we'd still want some central registry of these things in a Daffodil project
repository to prevent ongoing proliferation of duplicates.
Keeping the charset definitions as part of the code base forces them to be
found and reused rather than everybody inventing the same charset in the XML of
their schema, but calling it something different.
