{icu4x}[ICU4X] project (maintained by the {url-unicode}[Unicode Consortium]) data provider helper.

The IcuDataProvider type contains the DataProvider enum of supported implementations of ICU4X {DataProvider}DataProvider. Depending on the features selected, they are: Internal (internally uses the BakedDataProvider), {BlobDataProvider}BlobDataProvider, or {FsDataProvider}FsDataProvider.

When data provider is not Internal and depending on the data provider used, the IcuDataProvider may contain non-locale based data, such as the grapheme cluster segmenter and the selected character properties set data.

IcuDataProvider type is used within the Rc type as Rc<IcuDataProvider> or Arc type as Arc<IcuDataProvider> to prevent unnecessary duplication.

Features

Available features for i18n_icu crate:

• compiled_data (Preferred): Allow for the internal data of the various ICU4X components.

• blob: Allow for instances of BlobDataProvider to be used various ICU4X components that supports {BufferProvider}BufferProvider. An alternative provider when the internal data of ICU4X components are insufficient for a particular use case.

• fs: Allow for instances of FsDataProvider to be used various ICU4X components that supports BufferProvider. An alternative provider when the internal data of ICU4X components are insufficient for a particular use case.

• sync: Allow for rust's concurrency capabilities to be used. Use of Arc and Mutex instead Rc and RefCell.

• log: Enable log support.
