How can I determine if a version later than XML C++ 1.6 might sup port ISO 8859-15 encoding ??


Folks,

Our organization is trying to settle on an encoding and -15 looks like the
prime candidate right now ( I'm not involved in making the decision ).
Version 1.6 does not seem to be happy with the attempt to set -15 as the
encoding.   If there is a later version, we would be interested in moving to
it, but ... ??

>From the FAQ:

What encodings are supported by Xerces-C / XML4C?	 <<...OLE_Obj...>>

Xerces-C has intrinsic support for ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16 (Big/Small Endian),
UCS4 (Big/Small Endian), EBCDIC code pages IBM037, IBM1047 and IBM1140
encodings, ISO-8859-1 (aka Latin1) and Windows-1252. This means that it can
parse input XML files in these above mentioned encodings.
XML4C -- the version of Xerces-C available from IBM -- combines Xerces-C and
International Components for Unicode (ICU)
<http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/> and extends the encoding support to over
100 different encodings that are allowed by ICU. In particular, all the
encodings registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets>are supported in XML4C.
Some implementations or ports of Xerces-C provide support for additional
encodings. The exact set will depend on the supplier of the parser and on
the character set transcoding services in use.

Thanks,
  Tony
