Josh Soref commented on CB-5468:
--------------------------------
While the standard clearly indicates that UTF-16 should be supported, getting
it to work in Node isn't particularly fun. Let's focus on utf-8...
> improve config.xml encoding handling of utf-8
> ---------------------------------------------

> Key: CB-5468
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5468
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: BlackBerry, CLI, Plugman
> Reporter: Josh Soref
> Assignee: Josh Soref
> Fix For: 3.3.0
>
>
> If you have a config.xml w/o a BOM in UTF-8 and try to use cordova build on
> BlackBerry, you'll get an error.
> That logic is here:
> https://github.com/apache/cordova-blackberry/blob/master/blackberry10/bin/templates/project/cordova/lib/packager-utils.js#L143
> cordova cli on the other hand seems to only handle UTF-8 (and not
> UCS2/UTF-16).
> That logic is here:
> https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/blob/master/src/xml-helpers.js#L111
> The specification for config.xml is here:
> http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/#algorithm-to-process-a-configuration-document
> Let doc be the result of loading the widget config doc as a [DOMCore]
> Document using an [XML] parser that is both [XMLNS]-aware and xml:lang aware.
> [XML] defers to:
> http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#charsets
> which says:
> The mechanism for encoding character code points into bit patterns may vary
> from entity to entity. All XML processors must accept the UTF-8 and UTF-16
> encodings of Unicode [Unicode].
