Utilities for inspecting unicode strings.

Usage

Use DecodedString to wrap a sequence of bytes and a rust-encoding encoding.

let bytes = [65, 66, 67];
let string = string_inspector::DecodedString::decode(&bytes, encoding::all::ISO_8859_2).unwrap();

assert_eq!("ABC", string.to_string());
assert_eq!("\u{1b}[32mA  \u{1b}[0m\u{1b}[34mB  \u{1b}[0m\u{1b}[32mC  \u{1b}[0m", string.format_characters());
assert_eq!("\u{1b}[32m41 \u{1b}[0m\u{1b}[34m42 \u{1b}[0m\u{1b}[32m43 \u{1b}[0m", string.format_bytes());

DecodedString contains a sequence of DecodedCharacters, which retain the original byte representation:

let bytes = [65, 66, 67];
let string = string_inspector::DecodedString::decode(&bytes, encoding::all::ISO_8859_2).unwrap();

assert_eq!(3, string.characters.len());
assert_eq!('A', string.characters[0].character);
assert_eq!(vec![65], string.characters[0].bytes);
