> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Minor
>
> Files can be compared byte per byte and we have a method to do that. I can't
> see a reason to convert two files to the same character set and then compare
> them. This gives the same answer in all cases where the character encoding is
> recognized. If the character set isn't available, it might or mght not fail
> in a new but unhelpful way.
> Arguably there is a use case for comparing two files with two different
> character sets, but that's not what this method does.
