invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence

Question

I am trying to parse an XML file with but ran into an error message invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence

Answer 1

The switching of the encoding for the input might help in this case:

XMLEventReader eventReader =
                            inputFactory.createXMLEventReader(in, 
                                    "utf-8"
                                    //"windows-1251"
                            );
