===================
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a Python implementation of the `WHATWG Encoding standard
|
|
|
<http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/>`_.

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.
