Crate enrede 

Enrede

An easy-to-use string encoding library, providing an interface similar to str/String, for working with strings in encodings beyond UTF-8. Due to the API being based on std, working with other encodings is as transparent and painless as possible.

The name, enrede, is a double wordplay - Encode/Recode/Decode, and Enrede means ‘tangled’ or ‘caught’ in Spanish.

Features

• Str<E> and String<E> types, equivalent to str and std::string::String, but generic over encoding.
• CStr<E> and CString<E> types, equivalent to std::ffi::CStr and std::ffi::CString, but generic over encoding.
• Encoding trait with support for lower-level direct encoding/recoding into slices
• no_std support
• rand::Distribution impls for encodings, allowing easy generation of valid characters for an encoding

Planned Features

These features are not yet supported, but are planned for a future version:

• Dynamically encoded strings
• Extended methods for encodings following certain properties:
  • Constant length encodings
• More encodings
  • Big5
• More methods on strings and C-strings

no_std Support

By default, the std and alloc features are enabled. By using default-features = false in your Cargo.toml, you can disable these features. When std is disabled, this crate is no_std. When the alloc feature is disabled, the crate won’t use alloc, and any types or functions requiring allocation will be disabled (For example String<E>).

Limitations

Currently, it is assumed that all supported encodings are subsets of the Unicode character set.
