default encoding

[Sudha Sathiaseelan <Su...@plumtree.com>]

Hi,

Is UTF-8 the default encoding for the Document returned by org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl's parse?

Thanks,
Sudha

Hi Sudha,

Internally, Java stores characters (or chars) in memory as 16-bit Unicode.
This has nothing to do with the input encoding of your document, so no
characters are not stored as UTF-8 in a DOM Document. If you don't specify your own character reader, Xerces will try to translate your
stream of bytes from whatever encoding it is to 16-bit Unicode chars, and
if you specify your own Reader, it's responsible for translation.

Hope that helps.
