[jira] Commented: (CONFIGURATION-164) Charset detection

["Joerg Schaible (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-164?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12569833#action_12569833 ] 

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.

> 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 :
