About this package

Character encoding aliases for legacy web content

python-webencodings

This is a Python implementation of the WHATWG Encoding standard <http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/>_.

• Latest documentation: http://packages.python.org/webencodings/
• Source code and issue tracker:
  https://github.com/gsnedders/python-webencodings
• PyPI releases: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/webencodings
• License: BSD
• Python 2.6+ and 3.3+

In order to be compatible with legacy web content
when interpreting something like Content-Type: text/html; charset=latin1,
tools need to use a particular set of aliases for encoding labels
as well as some overriding rules.
For example, US-ASCII and iso-8859-1 on the web are actually
aliases for windows-1252, and an UTF-8 or UTF-16 BOM takes precedence
over any other encoding declaration.
The Encoding standard defines all such details so that implementations do
not have to reverse-engineer each other.

This module has encoding labels and BOM detection,
but the actual implementation for encoders and decoders is Python’s.
