XML Encoding

Configuration for the Genero Application Server involves XML files (with xcf file extension).

These XML files can include international characters and multiple languages so the UNICODE standard UTF-8 is typically used. How to define an encoding in an XML file is described in Extensible Markup Language - Character Encoding. The charset defined in XML files takes precedence over system locale settings.

Example in as.xcf with UTF-8 (UNICODE) character set:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- comments -->
<CONFIGURATION ...>
...

Example in as.xcf with ISO-8858-6 (Arabic) character set:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-6" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- comments -->
<CONFIGURATION ...>
