XML DOM xmlEncoding Attribute
Definition and Usage
The xmlEncoding attribute can return the encoding method of the document.
Syntax:
documentObject.xmlEncoding
Example
In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, as well as the JavaScript function loadXMLDoc().
The following code snippet can display the encoding method, standalone attribute, and XML version of the XML document:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
document.write("XML encoding: " + xmlDoc.xmlEncoding);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("XML standalone: " + xmlDoc.xmlStandalone);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("XML version: " + xmlDoc.xmlVersion);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("Encoding when parsing: " + xmlDoc.inputEncoding);
Output:
XML encoding: ISO-8859-1 XML standalone: false XML version: 1.0 Encoding when parsing: ISO-8859-1
