The first line of an XML file should begin with this declaration:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
An XML file with this declaration is assumed to use UTF-8 encoding for escaped Unicode characters. You can specify another character encoding with a declaration of this form:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="
encoding-name
" ?>
encoding-name
is the name of a supported XML encoding—for example, ISO-8859-1
or SHIFT_JIS
. For a list of the XML encodings supported by the Oracle Commerce Platform XML parser, go to http://xml.apache.org/xerces-j/faq-general.html.
Note: If you combine files with different encodings, the combined XML file (which exists only as a temporary file) uses a common encoding of UTF-8.
