Hi All,
How does the Xerces parser handle the document declaration <?xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> and is it used by the parser?
Does it automatically encode and decode values inserted and fetched in
text nodes? Is the programmer required to evaluate this attribute and
determine how to decode the XML document? If it is not automatically
encoded/decoded are there any tools to provide this functionality for
ISO-8859-1/ UTF-8 character data?
Many thanks,
Greg
