UTF-7

UMD module that encodes and decodes JavaScript (Unicode/UCS-2) strings to UTF-7 ASCII strings. It supports two modes: UTF-7 as defined in RFC 2152 and Modified UTF-7 as defined by the IMAP standard in RFC 3501, section 5.1.3

Bower:

bower install [e-mail]:whiteout-io/utf7.git#<TAG NAME>

npm:

npm install https://github.com/whiteout-io/utf7/tarball/<TAG NAME>

Usage

node.js

var utf7 = require('utf7');

Browser

Require utf7.js either as a AMD module include it globally in your markup like a regular <script> (exposes utf7).

RFC 2152

var encoded = utf7.encode('Jyväskylä');
'Jyv+AOQ-skyl+AOQ-' === encoded; // true

var decoded = utf7.decode(encoded);
'Jyväskylä' === decoded; // true

By default, .encode() only encodes the default characeters defined in RFC 2152. To also encode optional characters, use .encodeAll() or specify the characters you want to encode as the second argument to .encode().

IMAP (RFC 3501)

var encoded = utf7.imap.encode('"你好" heißt "Hallo"');
'"&T2BZfQ-" hei&AN8-t "Hallo"' === encoded;

var decoded = utf7.imap.decode(encoded);
'"你好" heißt "Hallo"' === decoded;
