Document: xmlEncoding property

Deprecated

Avoid using this feature in new projects. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.

Returns the encoding as determined by the XML declaration. Should be null if unspecified or unknown.

Warning: Do not use this attribute; it has been removed from the DOM Level 4 specification and is no longer supported in Firefox 10.0.

Consider the following XML Declaration:

xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

Then, the result should be "UTF-16".
