Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

windows-1252 Build status windows-1252 on npm

windows-1252 is a robust JavaScript implementation of the windows-1252 character encoding as defined by the Encoding Standard.

This encoding is known under the following names: ansi_x3.4-1968, ascii, cp1252, cp819, csisolatin1, ibm819, iso-8859-1, iso-ir-100, iso8859-1, iso88591, iso_8859-1, iso_8859-1:1987, l1, latin1, us-ascii, windows-1252, and x-cp1252.

Installation

Via npm:

npm install windows-1252

In a browser or in Node.js:

import {encode, decode, labels} from 'windows-1252';
// or…
import * as windows1252 from 'windows-1252';

API

windows1252.labels

An array of strings, each representing a label for this encoding.

windows1252.encode(input, options)

This function takes a plain text string (the input parameter) and encodes it according to windows-1252. The return value is an environment-agnostic Uint16Array of which each element represents an octet as per windows-1252.

const encodedData = windows1252.encode(text);

The optional options object and its mode property can be used to set the error mode. The two available error modes are 'fatal' (the default) or 'replacement'. (Note: This differs from the spec, which recognizes “fatal” and HTML” modes for encoders. The reason behind this difference is that the spec algorithm is aimed at producing HTML, whereas this library encodes into an environment-agnostic Uint16Array of bytes.)

const encodedData = windows1252.encode(text, {
  mode: 'replacement'
});
// If `text` contains a symbol that cannot be represented in windows-1252,
// instead of throwing an error, it becomes 0xFFFD.

windows1252.decode(input, options)

This function decodes input according to windows-1252. The input parameter can either be a Uint16Array of which each element represents an octet as per windows-1252, or a ‘byte string’ (i.e. a string of which each item represents an octet as per windows-1252).

const text = windows1252.decode(encodedData);

The optional options object and its mode property can be used to set the error mode. For decoding, the error mode can be 'replacement' (the default) or 'fatal'.

const text = windows1252.decode(encodedData, {
  mode: 'fatal'
});
// If `encodedData` contains an invalid byte for the windows-1252 encoding,
// instead of replacing it with U+FFFD in the output, an error is thrown.

Notes

Similar modules for other single-byte legacy encodings are available.
