Re: [GD-General] Text file parsing

Text file parsingAnother point in favor of XML is the easiness with which
you can store Unicode characters in it, while keeping it
editable and viewable - just stuff UTF-8 or UTF-16 into an
XML file, set the encoding processing instruction and bingo,
your weird-language characters are there.

(Although, to be honest, we've had problems with encoding
for our XML-based localization tables, as some of the external
localizers (is that a word?) had trouble understanding
instructions like "find where in your software it says Encoding
and set it UTF-8". The only 100% idiot-proof weird-language safe
file format is Excel.)
