unic-locale

unic-locale is an API for managing Unicode Locale Identifiers.

The crate provides a way to create a struct from a string, manipulate its fields, canonicalize it, and serialize into a string.

Usage

use std::convert::TryFrom;

use unic_locale::{Locale, ExtensionType};

let loc = Locale::try_from("en-US-u-hc-h12")
    .expect("Parsing.failed");

assert_eq!(loc.get_language(), "en");
assert_eq!(loc.get_script(), None);
assert_eq!(loc.get_region(), Some("US"));

loc.set_extension(ExtensionType::Unicode, "ca", "buddhist")
    .expect("Setting extension failed.");

assert_eq!(&loc.to_string(), "en-US-u-ca-buddhist-hc-h12");

Status

The crate is providing fundamental blocks, but is very basic.

In particular, the supported extensions list is very limited and the ergonomics of manipulating them should be improved.
