webencodings is a Python implementation of the WHATWG Encoding standard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to be compatible with legacy web content when interpreting
|
||
|
|
something like Content-Type: text/html; charset=latin1, tools need to
|
||
|
|
use a particular set of aliases for encoding labels as well as some
|
||
|
|
overriding rules. For example, US-ASCII and iso-8859-1 on the web are
|
||
|
|
actually aliases for windows-1252, and an UTF-8 or UTF-16 BOM takes
|
||
|
|
precedence over any other encoding declaration. The Encoding standard
|
||
|
|
defines all such details so that implementations do not have to
|
||
|
|
reverse-engineer each other.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module has encoding labels and BOM detection, but the actual
|
||
|
|
implementation for encoders and decoders is Python's.
