local-encoding-ng

Crates.io

This is local-encoding-ng, a library which wastly simplifies dealing with the unfamous Windows 8-bit encodings.

For example, in Russian version:

  • CP-1251 (ANSI codepage) is used for 8-bit files;
  • CP-866 (OEM codepage) is used for console output.

Windows have functions which help in these conversions: MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte.

This library provides a simple API for these functions.

Usage

Put this in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
local-encoding-ng = "*"

Or, better, use cargo-edit to add it with a correct version and use it to keep the version up-to-date.

For example:

use local_encoding_ng::{Encoding, Encoder};

fn main()
{
	println!("Unicode string: {}", Encoding::ANSI.to_string(b"ANSI string").unwrap());
	println!("Unicode string: {}", Encoding::OEM.to_string(b"OEM string").unwrap());
}
