#5226 closed enhancement (fixed)

XML encodings and byte-order marker (BOM) support

Description

JOSM 3366 loads OSM files in UTF-8 without optional leading byte-order marker, but fails if the optional BOM is present. It does not currently accept UTF16 (with or without byte-order marker), or UTF16-LE or UTF16-BE encodings. Where the .osm load fails JOSM currently reports either:

Could not read file '<filename>'.
Error is:
Line 1 column 1: Content is now allowed in prolog.

or

Could not read file '<filename>'.
Error is:
Line 1 column 2: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.

Supporting standard XML encodings would improve cross-platform support and prevent needless errors for valid XML files.
