|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Chardet is a character detection module for NodeJS written in pure Javascript.
|
|
Module is based on ICU project http://site.icu-project.org/, which uses character
|
|
occurency analysis to determine the most probable encoding.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm i chardet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var chardet = require('chardet');
|
|
chardet.detect(new Buffer('hello there!'));
|
|
// or
|
|
chardet.detectFile('/path/to/file', function(err, encoding) {});
|
|
// or
|
|
chardet.detectFileSync('/path/to/file');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Working with large data sets
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, when data set is huge and you want to optimize performace (in tradeoff of less accuracy),
|
|
you can sample only first N bytes of the buffer:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
chardet.detectFile('/path/to/file', { sampleSize: 32 }, function(err, encoding) {});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
