Question

I\'ve to read JSON file encoded with utf-8 charset
I use this syntax:

$http.get(\'resources/negozi.json\',
    {header : {\'Content-Type\' : \'applicatio         


        

Answer 1

If you are using php as server-side programming language you can try to set the internal encoding to utf-8 with mb_internal_encoding("utf-8").

Answer 2

It looks like you might need to set an Accept header. The contentType header applies to the stuff you're sending;

Accept: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Accept-Charset: UTF-8

so;

$.ajax({
   type:"GET",
   url:"resources/negozi.json",
   headers: {
       "Accept": "application/json;charset=utf-8",
       "Accept-Charset":"charset=utf-8"
   },
   dataType:"json"
});
