There is no good single source of reference for all these. However, the reason all these are present in most XML parsers is that most XML parsers use Java's InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter classes. Those classes support all these different encodings. Details are covered in Chapter 14 and 15 of my Java I/O book from O'Reilly. However, if all you want are the official names of all the different encodings you'll find them at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/internat/encoding.doc.html This gives the basic list for JDK 1.2.2. (To get an exhaustive list you have to dejar the jar file and look at certain class names in the sun packages.) Other VMs (especially 1.1 VMs and Microsoft VMs) may be slightly different. The big addition to the 1.2.2 list was ASCII which was notable by its absence in earlier VMs. +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@m... | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Java I/O (O'Reilly & Associates, 1999) | | http://metalab.unc.edu/javafaq/books/javaio/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=1565924851/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://metalab.unc.edu/javafaq/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
