func NewDecoder

func NewDecoder(enc string) (*Decoder, error)

NewDecoder returns a x/text Decoder for the specified text encoding. The Decoder converts a character encoding into utf-8 bytes. If a BOM is found it will be converted into a utf-8 BOM, you can use github.com/dimchansky/utfbom to strip the BOM.

The "none" or "" encoding will pass through bytes unchecked. Use the utf-8 encoding if you want invalid bytes replaced using the the unicode replacement character.

Detection of utf-16 endianness using the BOM is not currently provided due to the tail input plugins requirement to be able to start at the middle or end of the file.
