Package Exports

windows-1254

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (windows-1254) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

windows-1254

windows-1254 is a robust JavaScript implementation of the windows-1254 character encoding as defined by the Encoding Standard.

This encoding is known under the following names: cp1254, csisolatin5, iso-8859-9, iso-ir-148, iso8859-9, iso88599, iso_8859-9, iso_8859-9:1989, l5, latin5, windows-1254, and x-cp1254.

Installation

Via npm:

npm install windows-1254

In a browser:

<script src="windows-1254.js"></script>

In Node.js:

const windows1254 = require('windows-1254');

API

`windows1254.version`

A string representing the semantic version number.

`windows1254.labels`

An array of strings, each representing a label for this encoding.

`windows1254.encode(input, options)`

This function takes a plain text string (the input parameter) and encodes it according to windows-1254. The return value is a ‘byte string’, i.e. a string of which each item represents an octet as per windows-1254.

const encodedData = windows1254.encode(text);

The optional options object and its mode property can be used to set the error mode. For encoding, the error mode can be 'fatal' (the default) or 'html'.

const encodedData = windows1254.encode(text, {
  mode: 'html'
});
// If `text` contains a symbol that cannot be represented in windows-1254,
// instead of throwing an error, it will return an HTML entity for the symbol.

`windows1254.decode(input, options)`

This function takes a byte string (the input parameter) and decodes it according to windows-1254.

const text = windows1254.decode(encodedData);

The optional options object and its mode property can be used to set the error mode. For decoding, the error mode can be 'replacement' (the default) or 'fatal'.

const text = windows1254.decode(encodedData, {
  mode: 'fatal'
});
// If `encodedData` contains an invalid byte for the windows-1254 encoding,
// instead of replacing it with U+FFFD in the output, an error is thrown.

For decoding a buffer (e.g. from fs.readFile) use buffer.toString('binary') to get the byte string which decode takes.
