public String getEncoding()
When an org.xml.sax.InputSource InputSource is used to provide an entity's character stream, this method returns the encoding provided in that input stream.
Note that some recent W3C specifications require that text in some encodings be normalized, using Unicode Normalization Form C, before processing. Such normalization must be performed by applications, and would normally be triggered based on the value returned by this method.
Encoding names may be those used by the underlying JVM, and comparisons should be case-insensitive.
public String getXMLVersion()
At this writing, only one version ("1.0") is defined, but it seems likely that a new version will be defined which has slightly different rules about which characters are legal in XML names.
XMLReader implementations are not required to support this information, and it is not part of core-only SAX2 distributions.
