enum

Mica::Core::Encoding

Inherits Enum < Comparable < Value < Object

The character encodings Mica decodes in Crystal (no iconv).

UTF-8 is read in place; the others go through Core::Transcoder, which turns them into UTF-8 for the format's scanner.

Constants

UTF8 = 0

UTF16LE = 1

UTF16BE = 2

UTF32LE = 3

UTF32BE = 4

ISO8859_1 = 5

USASCII = 6

Class methods

from_byte_order_mark(bytes : Bytes) : Tuple(Encoding, Int32) | Nil

Returns the encoding a byte order mark announces at the start of bytes and the mark's size, or nil. UTF-32LE wins over UTF-16LE when the four bytes FF FE 00 00 are present.

Mica::Core::Encoding.from_byte_order_mark(Bytes[0xFE, 0xFF, 0, 0x3C]) # => {Mica::Core::Encoding::UTF16BE, 2}

Source

from_label(name : String) : Encoding | Nil

Looks up an encoding by name, ignoring ASCII case. Accepts the IANA names and common aliases. "UTF-16" and "UTF-32" (no byte order) map to the big-endian form, which is what they mean without a byte order mark; formats that read a mark compare it separately.
