UTF-8 File Encoder¶

Introduction¶

The UTF-8 File Encoder plugin converts a file with a specified encoding to and from UTF-8:

• Source files are encoded from the specified encoding to UTF-8.
• Target files are encoded from UTF-8 to the specified encoding.

Supported encodings and codes for them are listed at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html.

This plugin is available by default on Jitterbit cloud agent groups and can also be associated with Private agent groups.
