Joerg Schaible commented on CONFIGURATION-164:
----------------------------------------------
That algorithm seems bloated for our use case, since it also tries to extract
the encoding from the HTML settings/page. We might as alternative use a simpler
approach like it is done in the XmlHeaderAwareReader in XStream, which is based
on the JDK's PushBackInputStream and implemented similar to a normal
InputStreamReader.
> Charset detection

> Key: CONFIGURATION-164
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-164
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: Nightly Builds
> Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.x
>
>
> Detecting automatically the charset of the file based configurations would be
> a
> nice addition. When the file has no byte order mark defining the charset, we
> might apply a detection algorithm similar to the one implemented in Mozilla.
> There is at least one Java library providing this feature, jchardet :
> http://sourceforge.net/projects/jchardet
