-Data encoding compatibility problems are one of the most common
- difficulties encountered by programmers new to <span class="acronym">XML</span> in
- general and <span class="application">libxml</span> in particular. Thinking
- through the design of your application in light of this issue will help
- avoid difficulties later. Internally, <span class="application">libxml</span>
- stores and manipulates data in the UTF-8 format. Data used by your program
- in other formats, such as the commonly used ISO-8859-1 encoding, must be
- converted to UTF-8 before passing it to <span class="application">libxml</span>
- functions. If you want your program's output in an encoding other than
- UTF-8, you also must convert it.</p><p><span class="application">Libxml</span> uses
- <span class="application">iconv</span> if it is available to convert
- data. Without <span class="application">iconv</span>, only UTF-8, UTF-16 and
- ISO-8859-1 can be used as external formats. With
- <span class="application">iconv</span>, any format can be used provided
- <span class="application">iconv</span> is able to convert it to and from
- UTF-8. Currently <span class="application">iconv</span> supports about 150
- different character formats with ability to convert from any to any. While
- the actual number of supported formats varies between implementations, every
- <span class="application">iconv</span> implementation is almost guaranteed to
- support every format anyone has ever heard of.</p><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><table border="0" summary="Warning"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Warning]" src="images/warning.png"></td><th align="left">Warning</th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" align="left" valign="top"><p>A common mistake is to use different formats for the internal data
- in different parts of one's code. The most common case is an application
- that assumes ISO-8859-1 to be the internal data format, combined with
- <span class="application">libxml</span>, which assumes UTF-8 to be the
- internal data format. The result is an application that treats internal
- data differently, depending on which code section is executing. The one or
- the other part of code will then, naturally, misinterpret the data.
