encoding_c is an FFI wrapper for [encoding_rs](https://github.com/hsivonen/encoding_rs).
## Licensing
Please see the file named

## C/C++ Headers
`include/encoding_rs.h` and `include/encoding_rs_statics.h` are needed for C
usage.
`include/encoding_rs_cpp.h` is a sample C++ API built on top of the C API using
GSL and the C++ standard library. Since C++ project typically roll their own
string classes, etc., it's probably necessary for C++ projects to manually
adapt the header to their replacements of standard-library types.
