Module strings 

Module for string encoding and decoding.

Structs

StringEncoder

Provide a configurable string encoder. This takes strings and produces an encoded version of the string. This complements the crate::strings::StringParser.

StringParser

Implement parsing of strings.

Enums

EncodingMethod

Determine how Unicode characters that require encoding should be handled. If ASCII encoding is enabled, this only applies to characters that need encoding and are outside the ASCII range.

EncodingStandard

The standard used to determine which characters to encode as escapes.

EscapeType

Define the different escape types. These are used to interpret escape sequences found in strings and to determine how escapes are used when encoding.

IllegalUnicodeProtocol

How to handle parsing an invalid Unicode hexadecimal escape. This also applies to the escapes of a surrogate pair when surrogate pairs are not allowed.

StringStandard

These are the string standards that are implemented for the string parser and encoder. These select a “bundle” of options at once to configure how strings are parsed or encoded.

UnknownEscapeProtocol

How to handle parsing unknown or invalid escapes.

Constants

UCD

The Unicode database.

Functions

get_ucd

Construct the UCD and return it. This is a relatively costly operation and you should only do it once. Once you have done this you can keep it around and use it to initialize string parsers that handle named Unicode escapes. It is not needed otherwise.
