encoding
       The input
       encoding is automatically detected, so that the
       encoding parameter specifies only the output
       encoding. If empty string is passed, the parser attempts to identify
       which encoding the document is encoded in by looking at the heading 3 or
       4 bytes. The default output charset is UTF-8. The supported
       encodings are ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 and
       US-ASCII.
