Examples of this abound.
* Data that used to be iso-8859-1 or ascii that has been updated to utf-8, and so there is a decision made about which charset to use based on headers. * Mainframe data coming from EBCDIC (old) machines/systems where a mixture of those with other ASCII/Unicode charsets. * Anything involving Japanese or really any of the symbolic oriental language scripts. There are so many encodings in wide use. ________________________________ From: Roger L Costello <coste...@mitre.org> Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2021 1:49 PM To: users@daffodil.apache.org <users@daffodil.apache.org> Subject: Have you ever seen a data format that requires the value "encoding" be computed at runtime? Hi Folks, I see in the DFDL specification that the value of the encoding property can be computed. This surprises me. Can you give a real-world example of setting the value of the encoding property at runtime (parse time), please? /Roger
