Reading UNICODE string
Hi,
I am able to write a unicode character to my XML file but I am unable to
read it.
I read using this code and xmlval = ""
n = node->getFirstChild()->getNodeValue();
xmlval = xercesc::XMLString::transcode(n);
If the character(s) written are not Unicode there are no problems.
Any ideas appreciated,
Thanks,
Enda

My local encoding is
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

Re: Reading UNICODE string
Posted by sandip shahane <sa...@yahoo.com>.
I have a question on similar line
I want to know, is there any kind of wstring
support with xerces? My application is intended to use
wstring based class (It is must since all code base
that was earlier on windows is using wstring, and now
i want to port it to other platforms of UNIX). Also it
shall support I18 viz. foreign language character set
e.g. japanese etc... For this I am doing as below:
I have seen XMLString examples at
some places that does ::transcode(...) to and fro
XMLCh * to char * . If possible my strategy is to use
this way to get char * from xerces's XMLCh * and
convert it back to wstring using wcstombs and vice
versa.
What does this transcode(...) do? Will I be able to
support non-english (say japanese character set) do as
above.?
Has anybody done this way, any issues, or
alternatives?
because i think this is going to be too expensive.
Is there any better way? Or has anybody used any other
simpler way? If so, some sample code will be greatly
helpful.
Thanks,
Sandeep Shahane

You create a UTF-8 transcoder. There are previous emails in the archives
that describe the process. There is a global instance of XMLTransService
that is available in XMLPlatformUtils that you can use for creating the
transcoder:
http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/apiDocs/classXMLPlatformUtils.html#z941_1
Here is the documentation for XMLTransService:

Sorry for my lack of xerces knowledge but how do I transcode to UTF-8?

Why don't you just write the UTF-16 data into the file? As long as you
are
reading and writing the data on a single platform, or you remember
whether
it's big-endian or little-endian, it should work.
If you want an encoding that's more compatible with non-Unicode
applications, then you can transcode to UTF-8.

If you want an encoding that's more compatible with non-Unicode
applications, then you can transcode to UTF-8.

Thanks Again Axel,
Can you suggest a solution to me so I can read and write as Unicode?

Enda, (sorry, overlooked the comma)
I didn't argue about reading, but about transcoding. After reading, the
character is hold in XMLCh, the utf-16 representation required by the
standards. If this character has a representation in the local (libc)
encoding, xercesc::XMLString::transcode delivers the local representation.

Did you check the value of 'n'?

Axel,
I don't understand, if I can write this Unicode character then why can I not read it.

If the character(s) written are not Unicode there are no problems.

Mannion,
if the character has no representation in your local codepage, you cannot
transcode it.
