Umlaut in Java SAX Parser

Question

I am currently having trouble with German umlaut values in a XML document I received.

It displays / saves the value as a " ü " instead of a " ü ".

The XML Encoding is set to UTF-8 which should be capable of displaying umlauts.

Also I couldn't find any option to set a locale on the SAX parser.

Is there any other way I can make the values save correctly?

btw: I am using eclipse as IDE.

All help is very appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The XML is encoded in UTF-8, but you are decoding it with ISO-8859-1.

Try to use InputStream and other "binary"-oriented APIs for XML. Avoid using a Reader , or trying to convert from byte[] to a String before parsing XML. You are much more likely to mess up the character encoding than the parser is.

Answer 2

在XML声明中将XML编码设置为UTF-8是一回事，但另一方面是XML文档的物理编码，即，您可以有一个XML文件，其内容为<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>但文件本身仍可能是ANSI编码（或其他格式）。
