5.32.3 READ

The READ command is used to parse and load XML documents.

When the READ command is executed, the following steps occur:

1.  The service determines the encoding to apply to the received byte content (of the XML document) to convert it to Unicode content. The default action is to auto-detect the encoding of the XML source. Autodetect will determine the encoding from the XML declaration encoding, for example <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>.

2.  The service converts the Unicode content to a UTF-8 byte content and parses the content into a document object.

3.  The service determines if the Unicode data needs to be archived.
