Enrede

An easy-to-use string encoding library, providing an interface similar to str/String.

lib.rs:

A crate for working with strings in encodings beyond UTF-8. The API is designed to match std's strings in most cases, so working with other encodings is as transparent and painless as possible.

The name, enrede, is a double wordplay - Encode/Recode/Decode, and Enrede means 'tangled' or 'caught' in Spanish.

no_std Support

By default, the std and alloc features are enabled. By using default-features = false in your Cargo.toml, you can disable these features. When std is disabled, this crate is no_std. When the alloc feature is disabled, the crate won't use alloc, and any types or functions requiring allocation will be disabled (For example String<E>).

Limitations

Currently, it is assumed that all supported encodings are subsets of the Unicode character set.

TODO

These features are not yet supported, but are planned for a future version:

• Dynamically encoded strings
• Extended methods for encodings following certain properties:
  • Constant length encodings
  • Encodings with no invalid byte sequences
• More encodings
  • Shift-JIS
  • Big5
  • ISO/IEC 8859-1
