Hello,
I was puzzled by the behaviour of org.geotools.data.geojson.GeoJSONReader when I was using it to read a feature collection containing non-ascii strings. It complains that the JSON string contains invalid UTF-8 data. Due to client mandate I need to develop on a Windows 11 machine. The default platform encoding is windows-1252 (for archeological reasons, I guess), not UTF8. I noticed that GeoJSONReader uses plain String.getBytes() to read the JSON data (https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/f416fcc3763b2db020c54a9323601fbdd49388e7/modules/unsupported/geojson-core/src/main/java/org/geotools/data/geojson/GeoJSONReader.java#L179). When I change the JVM charset encoding (which needs to be done at startup) using -Dfile.encoding="UTF-8" my code works, but I rather not have to do this. I am not an expert on JSON but I recall the spec mandates that JSON data is encoded in UTF-8. So I believe that the above linked line should do jsonString.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8) (and in all other locations where JSON data is read). Apparently Java is slated to go UTF-8 by default in the future, but until then we need to deal with this mess I guess.
