Class UTF8Reader

java.lang.Object

org.mdiutil.xml.UTF8Reader

public class UTF8Reader
extends Object

This class is able to convert escaped hexadecimal UTF8 String constructions to Java Unicode Strings and reverse. Using this class make the process of conversion from any Java Unicode Strings to XML "acceptable" Strings and reverse easy.

Remark : XML UTF8 files does not accept pure Unicode Strings if they are not encoded using UTF8 constructs. therefore, it is not allowed, for example, to use in a XML file the following String : é, one should use this construct instead : "é", which is the escaped Unicode sequence for this String.

• Conversion from Java Strings to hexadecimals convert Java String to escaped Unicode sequences
• Conversion from hexadecimals to Java Strings to convert escaped Unicode sequences to Java Strings
