XML Programming with Unicode
// buffering for efficiency Writer w = new BufferedWriter( osw ); // create a PrintWriter to adapt to the printing method PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter( w ); // print the document to the file through the connected objects doc.print( out ); } }
Reading an XML File in Unicode with Java Do not read XML files as text input. When reading an XML document stored in a file system, use the parser to automatically detect the character encoding of the document. Avoid using a Reader class or specifying a character encoding on the input stream. Given a binary input stream with no external encoding information, the parser automatically figures out the character encoding based on the byte order mark and encoding declaration of the XML document. Any well-formed document in any supported encoding can be successfully parsed using the following sample code: import java.io.*; import oracle.xml.parser.v2.*; public class I18nSafeXMLFileReadingSample { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // create an instance of the xml file File file = new File( "myfile.xml" ); // create a binary input stream FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream( file ); // buffering for efficiency BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream( fis ); // get an instance of the parser DOMParser parser = new DOMParser(); // parse the xml file parser.parse( in ); } }
Parsing an XML Stream in Unicode with Java When the source of an XML document is not a file system, the encoding information is usually available before reading the document. For example, if the input document is provided in the form of a Java character stream or Reader, its encoding is evident and no detection should take place. The parser can begin parsing a Reader in Unicode without regard to the character encoding. The following is an example of parsing a document with external encoding information: import import import import
java.io.*; java.net.*; org.xml.sax.*; oracle.xml.parser.v2.*;
