=====

Port of node-chardet in pure JavaScript without NodeJS specific code.
Module is based on ICU project http://site.icu-project.org/, which uses character
occurrence analysis to determine the most probable encoding.

Installation

``
npm i char-encoding-detector
`

`
yarn add char-encoding-detector
`

Usage

To return the encoding with the highest confidence:

`javascript
import { detectEncoding, detectFileEncoding } from 'char-encoding-detector';
const encoding = detectEncoding(uint8Array);
// or
detectFileEncoding(file).then((encoding) => {});
`

To return the full list of possible encodings:

`javascript
import { detectEncoding, detectFileEncoding } from 'char-encoding-detector';

const matches = detectEncoding(uint8Array, { allMatches: true });
// or
detectFileEncoding(file, { allMatches: true }).then((matches) => {});
``

Working with large data sets

Sometimes, when data set is huge and you want to optimize performance (in tradeoff of less accuracy), you can sample only first N bytes of the buffer.

Supported Encodings:

- UTF-8
- UTF-16 LE
- UTF-16 BE
- UTF-32 LE
- UTF-32 BE
