ADK opens many files—such as Python, JSON, and YAML—to build agents, tools, knowledge bases, and more. You can override the encoding method ADK uses to decode files when automatic detection fails.
Note:You don’t need to configure the encoding type to use ADK. The following commands are optional and help handle specific edge cases.

​
Setting an encoding Type

Set the encoding type ADK uses for file access. If unset, ADK tries to detect the encoding of each file. To set the encoding type, use the command:
BASH
orchestrate settings set-encoding <encoding-type>

​
Setting encoding to default

Unset the encoding override and return to the default behavior, where ADK tries to detect the encoding of each file. To set the encoding type to default, use the command:
BASH
orchestrate settings unset-encoding
