Re: Why does node's Toolkit for i, use a database connection to execute CL commands?

Nathan

just to get the documentation right:

RFC 7159


8.1 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-8.1>. Character Encoding

JSON text SHALL be encoded in UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32. The default
encoding is UTF-8, and JSON texts that are encoded in UTF-8 are
interoperable in the sense that they will be read successfully by the
maximum number of implementations; there are many implementations
that cannot successfully read texts in other encodings (such as
UTF-16 and UTF-32).

Implementations MUST NOT add a byte order mark to the beginning of a
JSON text. In the interests of interoperability, implementations
that parse JSON texts MAY ignore the presence of a byte order mark
rather than treating it as an error.

Node.js is based on a port of google V8 javascript engine, do you really
think they have changed the internal CCSID in that.

JSON is JacaScript Object Notation - used in any object or array in
javascript.

JSON has only one internal code page = Unicode/UTF-8 and there is
nothing to discus in that matter.

AJAX may convert result from a various ASCII code pages from none-JSON
conversations but not if it is JSON it receives.

come on, everybody knows that javascript requires \uxxxx characters

Okay, I should admit that I didn't know that. Every reference I've read
suggests the use of "character representations" of various supported
character sets in "browsers".

Node.js runs javascript that runs UTF-8 Unicode internally in every
object you make.

Again, what make you so sure? Are you assuming that server-side JavaScript
runs in an environment comparable to browser-based JavaScript?
