Transliterate Service for JavaScript Applications

General purpose transliterate service for JavaScript applications which can be used in swapping letters such as α → a, ၎ → ၎င်း.

Features

• Can transliterate/convert any script or Unicode letters by using from a simplest rule definition (just with from and to rules) to more powerful rule definition (with tplVar, tplSeq, when, postRules, etc.)
• Can transliterate input phase by phase
• Can define template variables with tplVar to reduce JSON size and to avoid repetition
• Can define template loop sequences with tplSeq for sequential rules checking and replacement
• Quick test input string checking with quickTests and minLength options for better performance
• Can check converted left portion string with hasLeft boolean option and left regular expression option
• Can check right part after matched input string with right regular expression option
• Conditional rules processing with when and skip options
• Can define post-rules with postRules for step-by-step conversions
• Can use postRulesDef and postRulesRef to reduce JSON size and to avoid repetition in defining postRules
• Conversion trace information can be included in output result for debugging purpose
