Charset Parser
- Node.js module
- Parse charset string from http header and html data
Installation
npm install charset-parser --saveUsage
- Input a string, the charsetParser will find the charset string
// charsetParser(string);
var charset = charsetParser('Content-Type:text/html; charset=utf-8');- Input: the content type from http header, binary html content and a default charset
- If http header has no charset defined, the binary content will parse, if there is also no charset, it returns the default
// charsetParser(header, html, default_charset);
var charset = charsetParser('Content-Type:text/html; charset=utf-8',
'<html><head><meta charset=utf-8></head><body></body></html>',
'iso-8859-1');Example

var request = require('request');
var iconv = require('iconv-lite');
var charsetParser = require('charset-parser');
iconv.extendNodeEncodings();
request('http://example.com', {encoding: 'binary'}, function(err, res, binary){
// parse charset
var charset = charsetParser(res.headers['content-type'], binary, 'iso-8859-1');
// decode binary with charset
var html = iconv.decode(binary, charset);
// TODO: do something with html
