    • getSystemId

      public static java.lang.String getSystemId​(java.io.File file)
      This is a best attempt to provide a URL.toExternalForm() from a file URL. Some parsers like Crimson choke on uri that are made of backslashed paths (ie windows) as it is does not conform URI specifications.
      Parameters:
      file - the file to create the system id from.
      Returns:
      the systemid corresponding to the given file.
