Class XMLReader

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.lang.Readable

    public class XMLReader
    extends java.io.Reader
    This class automatically detects encoding of an inner XML file and constructs a Reader with appropriate encoding.

    Detecting of encoding is done first by reading a possible BOM, to detect UTF-16 or UTF-8 then by reading a value from the XML header <?xml version="1.0" encoding="..."?>

    If encoding isn't specified, or it is not supported by the Java platform, the file is opened in UTF-8, in compliance with the XML specifications

        public XMLReader​(java.io.InputStream is)
                  throws java.io.IOException
        Creates a new instance of XMLReader. If encoding cannot be detected, falls back to default UTF-8.
        Parameters:
        fileName - - the file to read
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException

                  throws java.io.IOException
        Creates a new instance of XMLReader. If encoding cannot be detected, falls back to supplied encoding, or (if supplied null, or supplied encoding is not supported by JVM) falls back to UTF-8.
        Parameters:
        fileName - The file to read.
