Uutf — Non-blocking streaming Unicode codec for OCaml

Release 0.9.3

Uutf is a non-blocking streaming codec to decode and encode the UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE encoding schemes. It can efficiently work character by character without blocking on IO. Decoders perform character position tracking and support newline normalization.

Functions are also provided to fold over the characters of UTF encoded OCaml string values and to directly encode characters in OCaml Buffer.t values.

Uutf is made of a single, independent, module and distributed under the BSD3 license.

Installation

Uutf can be installed with opam:

opam install uutf

If you don't use opam consult the opam file for build instructions and a complete specification of the dependencies.

Documentation

The documentation and API reference is automatically generated by ocamldoc from uutf.mli. It can be consulted online and there is a generated version in the doc directory of the distribution.

Sample programs

Sample programs are located in the test directory of the distribution. They can be built with:

ocamlbuild tests.otarget

The resulting binaries are in _build/test :

  • test.native tests the library, nothing should fail.

  • utftrip.native, among other things, reads unicode on stdin and rewrites it on stdout. Invoke with -help for more information.
