Getting wrong encode about rss-parser HOT 2 CLOSED

Are you using parseFile/parseURL? These methods explicitly set the encoding to utf8.

I think you have two options:

• Read the file/url yourself, and use parseString
• Change the functions to accept an encoding object (happy to accept a PR)

If you prefer the latter, I think the best way to go is to allow users to pass in a string or an object as the first parameter, e.g.

parseURL('https://www.reddit.com/.rss', callback)

parseURL({url: 'https://www.reddit.com', encoding: 'iso-8'}, callback)

would be equivalent.

Marking as fixed - let me know if you're still having trouble.
