text-icu: Bindings to the ICU library

[ bsd3, data, library, text ] [ Propose Tags ]

Haskell bindings to the International Components for Unicode (ICU) libraries. These libraries provide robust and full-featured Unicode services on a wide variety of platforms.

Features include:

  • Both pure and impure bindings, to allow for fine control over efficiency and ease of use.

  • Breaking of strings on character, word, sentence, and line boundaries.

  • Access to the Unicode Character Database (UCD) of character metadata.

  • String collation functions, for locales where the conventions for lexicographic ordering differ from the simple numeric ordering of character codes.

  • Character set conversion functions, allowing conversion between Unicode and over 220 character encodings.

  • Unicode normalization. (When implementations keep strings in a normalized form, they can be assured that equivalent strings have a unique binary representation.)

  • Regular expression search and replace.

Text-ICU: Comprehensive support for string manipulation

This package provides the Data.Text.ICU library, for performing complex manipulation of Unicode text. It provides features such as the following:

  • Unicode normalization

  • Conversion to and from many common and obscure encodings

Prerequisites

This library is implemented as bindings to the well-respected ICU library, which is not included. The versions of ICU currently supported are 4.0 and newer.
