> RFC 4627 and RFC 7159 require that parsers auto-detect the encoding of
> application/json. UTF-8 is the suggested default, though it's possible to
> detect the encoding of valid JSON unambiguously.
> Currently, EntityUtils.toString defaults to ISO-8859-1 (the default for text
> formats without a charset parameter).
> Given how common application/json is, it would be great for
> EntityUtils.toString to use the correct encoding.
