Fails to parse UTF8 strings with BOM. about rapidjson HOT 8 CLOSED

BOM is not supported in 0.1x. It is not a "bug" but a missing feature.
Encoding conversions with BOM detection was implemented in the newer version in 
the trunk.

I cloned repository from github just yesterday. Is it need to checkout from 
google-code?

Rapidjson does not have an official repository on github. I think it may be the 
first released version 0.1, copied to github by someone.

Ok, got it - not to use github's version.

Trunk SVN (from code.google.com) version does not support it either.

Please refer to

amtest.cpp

Sorry, but I cannot understand what I must see there. What is "utf8.json"?
Anyway, I skipped first 3 bytes of UTF8+BOM text file within my project and 
Rapidjson parsed it well.
Did you meant by that link that UTF8 with BOM is not supported and will not be 
ever or that it is already supported?
Thank you.

Hum. The examples and documentation is not ready yet.

I think this example may help you with the new encoding feature, which also 
handles BOM.
