chardet

Crystal bindings for freedesktop.org's uchardet.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     chardet:
       github: elebow/chardet.cr

2. Run shards install

Usage

require "chardet"

Chardet.detect(unknown_bytes)
# {encoding: "UTF-8"}

The only public interface is Chardet.detect(Bytes). It will return a hash with a single element:

• encoding (String) – The detected encoding of the byte stream

Future versions of uchardet are likely to provide additional fields (see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/uchardet/uchardet/-/issues/5#note_474963).
