Dave Thompson updated DAFFODIL-2560:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 3.3.0)
> 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
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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.
