I started recently to use angular js, I like how it works, I want to know how can I set the charset encoding as a header.

My json file contains special characters ( French language ).

something like : Remplaçant

Is there any way to decode that into UTF-8 after retreiving it :

here is my code :

$http.get(".json"
})
        .success(function (response) {
            $scope.lineup = response;    

        });

• javascript
• json
• angularjs
• utf-8

• JSON file MUST BE in UTF-8 initially. – zerkms Commented May 28, 2015 at 8:52

As you initially said, you can add a request header. That way you don't have to translate it if the server supports UTF-8.

An example by Banasci:

$http.get('resources/negozi.json',
    {headers : {'Content-Type' : 'application/json; charset=UTF-8'}
}).success(function(data) {
... code here
});

Also, see the documentation.
