 <p>In addition to the interface, the internal implementation changes to store XML data as <code>pugi::char_t</code>; this means that these two modes have different memory usage characteristics - generally UTF-8 mode is more memory and performance efficient, especially if <code>sizeof(wchar_t)</code> is 4. The conversion to <code>pugi::char_t</code> upon document loading and from <code>pugi::char_t</code> upon document saving happen automatically, which also carries minor performance penalty. The general advice however is to select the character mode based on usage scenario, i.e. if UTF-8 is inconvenient to process and most of your XML data is non-ASCII, wchar_t mode is probably a better choice.</p>
