Hi, I'm trying to get a grip on how XML::Reader behaves when processing input files with varied encodings.
When processing an XML I can call Reader#encoding and I get an integer that seems to correctly indicate the encoding of the file (by matching constants in the XML::Encoding::* space). I also notice that I can pass an :encoding option to the string(), file() and io() class methods, although in my testing modifying this option has no effect. What is this option for? Finally, I've tested parsing ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 and UTF-16 files. When I grab a node from the ISO-8859-1 and UTF-16 files, I get a string that is UTF-8 encoded. Does libxml transparently convert all input files to utf-8? It's fine if it does, I'm just trying to get the behaviour straight in my own head! -- James Healy <jimmy-at-deefa-dot-com> Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:52:21 +1000 _______________________________________________ libxml-devel mailing list libxml-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/libxml-devel
