Introduction
The following code snippet shows how to convert string encoding in ABAP using the functionalities of package SIXML (iXML Library: Parsing, DOM Representation, and XML Rendering).
Code Snippet(s)
DATA:
lv_content_string TYPE string, "the source string
lv_target_encoding TYPE string DEFAULT 'UTF-8',
lr_ixml TYPE REF TO if_ixml,
lr_stream_factory TYPE REF TO if_ixml_stream_factory,
lr_encoding TYPE REF TO if_ixml_encoding,
lr_resstream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_ostream,
lv_content_xstring TYPE xstring. "the result string as binary string
CLEAR rv_content_xstring.
* Instanciate iXML object.
lr_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
* Instanciate a stream factory.
lr_stream_factory = lr_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
* Setup target encoding information.
lr_encoding = lr_ixml->create_encoding(
character_set = lv_target_encoding
byte_order = 0 ).
* Create the stream specifying where to push the output.
lr_resstream = lr_stream_factory->create_ostream_xstring( lv_content_xstring ).
* Set the output encoding.
CALL METHOD lr_resstream->set_encoding( lr_encoding ).
* Transform the data encoding.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
SOURCE XML lv_content_string
RESULT XML lr_resstream.
Explanation
The functionalities of class CL_IXML are used to convert the string encoding via stream processing.
