Don’t entirely agree with this. Some folks are stuck with other encodings and cannot change them for one reason or
another.That said, they can convert JSON from their required encoding into UTF-8 on the client side, so there is a
workaround.
Not that this changes anything, and I agree with the overall direction of the discussion here. I just want to make sure
wekeep in mind folks who don’t necessarily have the freedom to switch to UTF-8. (And I say this as someone who *always*
usesUTF-8!)
