//! Text encoding utilities for metadata decoding.
//!
//! Many file formats store text metadata in Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) or other
//! non-UTF-8 encodings. These helpers provide correct decoding instead of
//! the lossy `String::from_utf8_lossy()` which silently replaces bytes
//! >= 0x80 with U+FFFD.

/// Decode bytes as Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) to String.
///
/// Each byte maps directly to its Unicode code point (U+0000–U+00FF),
/// which is the correct mapping for ISO 8859-1.
pub fn decode_latin1(bytes: &[u8]) -> String {
    bytes.iter().map(|&b| b as char).collect()
}

/// Try decoding as UTF-8 first; fall back to Latin-1 if invalid.
///
/// This matches Perl ExifTool's behavior for fields that are historically
/// Latin-1 but may contain valid UTF-8 in modern files.
