    //     characters. If this is the case, then the file will be loaded and converted in memory to
    //     UNICODE before being parsed. If "guessUnicodeChars=0", no conversion will
    //     be performed.
    //
    //     If "guessUnicodeChars=1" and if this library is compiled in ASCII/UTF8 mode, then the
    //     "parseFile" and "openFileHelper" functions will test if the file contains UNICODE
    //     characters. If this is the case, then the file will be loaded and converted in memory to
    //     ASCII/UTF8 before being parsed. If "guessUnicodeChars=0", no conversion will
    //     be performed
    //
    //     Sometime, it's useful to set "guessUnicodeChars=0" to disable any conversion
    //     because the test to detect the file-type (ASCII/UTF8 or UNICODE) may fail (rarely).
    //
    // About the "strictUTF8Parsing" parameter:
    //     If "strictUTF8Parsing=0" then we assume that all characters have the same length of 1 byte.
    //     If "strictUTF8Parsing=1" then the characters have different lengths (from 1 byte to 4 bytes)

    // "bufLen" bytes that contains the first bytes (minimum 25 bytes; 200 bytes is a good value) of the
    // file to be parsed. The "openFileHelper" function is using this function to automatically compute
    // the value of the "strictUTF8Parsing" global parameter. There are several heuristics used to do the
    // guess. One of the heuristic is based on the "encoding" attribute. The original XML specifications
