Description w_barath 2013-07-24 12:31:33 UTC 
I have a problem with netbeans' radically restrictive i18n support:

An older website I'm maintaining keeps all its files and its default server document encoding as Latin-1.  However I have upgraded this site to use some JSON files which I retrieve with jQuery.  As you should be aware, AJAX requests are always performed in UTF-8 encoding as are JSON encoded files.  

Therefore I cannot use Netbeans to work on this website, because Netbeans does not allow different file encodings per document, and editing a UTF-8 document in Latin-1 / ISO8859-1 will result in corruption.  (The lack of a structured JSON editor mode can be somewhat overcome by performing some regex search&replace operations at load and save time, in case you're curious how I edit properly formed JSON in NetBeans)

Reassinging to JSON.
Comment 3 Petr Hejl 2013-07-31 08:10:29 UTC 
AFAIK not JSON related: "because Netbeans does not allow different file encodings per document".

Perhaps you can use "Encoding support" plugin.
