Works on Windows and in sandboxed environments like [Cloud9](http://c9.io). - * Used in popular projects like [Express.js (body_parser)](https://github.com/expressjs/body-parser), - [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/), [Nodemailer](http://www.nodemailer.com/), [Yeoman](http://yeoman.io/) and others. - * Faster than [node-iconv](https://github.com/bnoordhuis/node-iconv) (see below for performance comparison). - * Intuitive encode/decode API - * Streaming support for Node v0.10+ - * [Deprecated] Can extend Node.js primitives (buffers, streams) to support all iconv-lite encodings. - * In-browser usage via [Browserify](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify) (~180k gzip compressed with Buffer shim included). - * Typescript [type definition file](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/blob/master/lib/index.d.ts) included. - * React Native is supported (need to explicitly `npm install` two more modules: `buffer` and `stream`). - * License: MIT. - -[](https://npmjs.org/packages/iconv-lite/) - -## Usage -### Basic API -```javascript -var iconv = require('iconv-lite'); - -// Convert from an encoded buffer to js string. -str = iconv.decode(Buffer.from([0x68, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f]), 'win1251'); - -// Convert from js string to an encoded buffer. -buf = iconv.encode("Sample input string", 'win1251'); - -// Check if encoding is supported -iconv.encodingExists("us-ascii") -``` - -### Streaming API (Node v0.10+) -```javascript - -// Decode stream (from binary stream to js strings) -http.createServer(function(req, res) { - var converterStream = iconv.decodeStream('win1251'); - req.pipe(converterStream); - - converterStream.on('data', function(str) { - console.log(str); // Do something with decoded strings, chunk-by-chunk. - }); -}); - -// Convert encoding streaming example -fs.createReadStream('file-in-win1251.txt') - .pipe(iconv.decodeStream('win1251')) - .pipe(iconv.encodeStream('ucs2')) - .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('file-in-ucs2.txt')); - -// Sugar: all encode/decode streams have .collect(cb) method to accumulate data. -http.createServer(function(req, res) { - req.pipe(iconv.decodeStream('win1251')).collect(function(err, body) { - assert(typeof body == 'string'); - console.log(body); // full request body string - }); -}); -``` - -### [Deprecated] Extend Node.js own encodings -> NOTE: This doesn't work on latest Node versions. See [details](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/wiki/Node-v4-compatibility). - -```javascript -// After this call all Node basic primitives will understand iconv-lite encodings. -iconv.extendNodeEncodings(); - -// Examples: -buf = new Buffer(str, 'win1251'); -buf.write(str, 'gbk'); -str = buf.toString('latin1'); -assert(Buffer.isEncoding('iso-8859-15')); -Buffer.byteLength(str, 'us-ascii'); - -http.createServer(function(req, res) { - req.setEncoding('big5'); - req.collect(function(err, body) { - console.log(body); - }); -}); - -fs.createReadStream("file.txt", "shift_jis"); - -// External modules are also supported (if they use Node primitives, which they probably do). -request = require('request'); -request({ - url: "http://github.com/", - encoding: "cp932" -}); - -// To remove extensions -iconv.undoExtendNodeEncodings(); -``` - -## Supported encodings - - * All node.js native encodings: utf8, ucs2 / utf16-le, ascii, binary, base64, hex. - * Additional unicode encodings: utf16, utf16-be, utf-7, utf-7-imap. - * All widespread singlebyte encodings: Windows 125x family, ISO-8859 family, - IBM/DOS codepages, Macintosh family, KOI8 family, all others supported by iconv library. - Aliases like 'latin1', 'us-ascii' also supported. - * All widespread multibyte encodings: CP932, CP936, CP949, CP950, GB2312, GBK, GB18030, Big5, Shift_JIS, EUC-JP. - -See [all supported encodings on wiki](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/wiki/Supported-Encodings). - -Most singlebyte encodings are generated automatically from [node-iconv](https://github.com/bnoordhuis/node-iconv). Thank you Ben Noordhuis and libiconv authors! - -Multibyte encodings are generated from [Unicode.org mappings](http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/) and [WHATWG Encoding Standard mappings](http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/). Thank you, respective authors! - - -## Encoding/decoding speed - -Comparison with node-iconv module (1000x256kb, on MacBook Pro, Core i5/2.6 GHz, Node v0.12.0). -Note: your results may vary, so please always check on your hardware. - - operation iconv@2.1.4 iconv-lite@0.4.7 - ---------------------------------------------------------- - encode('win1251') ~96 Mb/s ~320 Mb/s - decode('win1251') ~95 Mb/s ~246 Mb/s - -## BOM handling - - * Decoding: BOM is stripped by default, unless overridden by passing `stripBOM: false` in options - (f.ex. `iconv.decode(buf, enc, {stripBOM: false})`). - A callback might also be given as a `stripBOM` parameter - it'll be called if BOM character was actually found. - * If you want to detect UTF-8 BOM when decoding other encodings, use [node-autodetect-decoder-stream](https://github.com/danielgindi/node-autodetect-decoder-stream) module. - * Encoding: No BOM added, unless overridden by `addBOM: true` option. - -## UTF-16 Encodings - -This library supports UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE and UTF-16 encodings. First two are straightforward, but UTF-16 is trying to be -smart about endianness in the following ways: - * Decoding: uses BOM and 'spaces heuristic' to determine input endianness. Default is UTF-16LE, but can be - overridden with `defaultEncoding: 'utf-16be'` option. Strips BOM unless `stripBOM: false`. - * Encoding: uses UTF-16LE and writes BOM by default. Use `addBOM: false` to override. - -## Other notes - -When decoding, be sure to supply a Buffer to decode() method, otherwise [bad things usually happen](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/wiki/Use-Buffers-when-decoding). -Untranslatable characters are set to � or ?. No transliteration is currently supported. -Node versions 0.10.31 and 0.11.13 are buggy, don't use them (see #65, #77). - -## Testing - -```bash -$ git clone git@github.com:ashtuchkin/iconv-lite.git -$ cd iconv-lite -$ npm install -$ npm test - -$ # To view performance: -$ node test/performance.js - -$ # To view test coverage: -$ npm run coverage -$ open coverage/lcov-report/index.html -``` |
