Unicoder

Unicoder is a simple node.js library for normalizing the encoding of text.

Unicoder takes a Buffer containing a bytestring representing a document with an unknown encoding, then guesses the encoding using a binding to ICU, and finally reencodes the Buffer into a JavaScript String.

Installation:

make install

Prerequisites:

  • node-iconv
  • libicu (including header files)
