char-encoding-detector
Advanced tools
=====
Port of node-chardet in pure JavaScript without NodeJS specific code. Module is based on ICU project http://site.icu-project.org/, which uses character occurrence analysis to determine the most probable encoding.
npm i char-encoding-detector
yarn add char-encoding-detector
To return the encoding with the highest confidence:
import { detectEncoding, detectFileEncoding } from 'char-encoding-detector';
detectEncoding(uint8Array);
// or
detectFileEncoding(file).then((encoding) => {});
To return the full list of possible encodings:
import { detectEncoding, detectFileEncoding } from 'char-encoding-detector';
detectEncoding(uint8Array, { allMatches: true });
// or
detectFileEncoding(file, { allMatches: true });
Sometimes, when data set is huge and you want to optimize performance (in tradeoff of less accuracy), you can sample only first N bytes of the buffer.
