Note that the (computing) data description format (JSON, XML...) and the textual 
format, or "encoding" (Unicode utf8/16/32, legacy iso-8859-* also called 
latin-*, ...) are more or less unrelated and independant. Changing the data 
description format cannot solve a text encoding issue (but it may hide it, if by 
chance the new data description format happened to use the text encoding you 
happen to use when reading, implicitely or explicitely).
