Detailed Description

Provides encoding detection(probe) capabilities.

Probe the encoding of raw data only. In the case it can't find it, return the most possible encoding it guessed.

Always do Unicode probe regardless the ProberType

Feed data to it several times with feed() until ProberState changes to FoundIt/NotMe, or confidence() returns a value you find acceptable.

Intended lifetime of the object: one instance per ProberType.

Typical use:

QByteArray data, moredata;
...
KEncodingProber prober(KEncodingProber::Chinese);
prober.feed(data);
prober.feed(moredata);
if (prober.confidence() > 0.6)
encoding = prober.encoding();
QByteArray encoding() const

At least 256 characters are needed to change the ProberState from Probing to FoundIt. If you don't have so many characters to probe, decide whether to accept the encoding it guessed so far according to the Confidence by yourself.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ProberState

Enumerator
FoundIt 

Sure find the encoding.

NotMe 

Sure not included in current ProberType's all supported encodings

Probing 

Need more data to make a decision.

Definition at line 64 of file kencodingprober.h.

◆ ProberType

enum KEncodingProber::ProberType

Definition at line 70 of file kencodingprober.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ KEncodingProber()

KEncodingProber::KEncodingProber ( KEncodingProber::ProberType proberType = Universal)

Default ProberType is Universal(detect all possible encodings)

Definition at line 138 of file kencodingprober.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ confidence()

float KEncodingProber::confidence ( ) const
Returns
the confidence(sureness) of encoding it guessed so far (0.0 ~ 0.99), not very reliable for single byte encodings

Definition at line 197 of file kencodingprober.cpp.

◆ encoding()

QByteArray KEncodingProber::encoding ( ) const
Returns
a QByteArray with the name of the best encoding it has guessed so far
Since
4.2.2

Definition at line 188 of file kencodingprober.cpp.

◆ feed() [1/2]

ProberState KEncodingProber::feed ( const char * data,
qsizetype len )
inline

Definition at line 116 of file kencodingprober.h.

◆ feed() [2/2]

KEncodingProber::ProberState KEncodingProber::feed ( QByteArrayView data)

The main class method.

feed data to the prober

Returns
the ProberState after probing the fed data.

Definition at line 152 of file kencodingprober.cpp.

◆ nameForProberType()

QString KEncodingProber::nameForProberType ( KEncodingProber::ProberType proberType)
static

map ProberType to language string

Definition at line 258 of file kencodingprober.cpp.

◆ proberType()

KEncodingProber::ProberType KEncodingProber::proberType ( ) const

Definition at line 206 of file kencodingprober.cpp.

◆ proberTypeForName()

KEncodingProber::ProberType KEncodingProber::proberTypeForName ( const QString & lang)
static
Returns
the ProberType for lang (e.g. proberTypeForName("Chinese Simplified") will return KEncodingProber::ChineseSimplified

Definition at line 217 of file kencodingprober.cpp.

◆ reset()

void KEncodingProber::reset ( )

reset the prober's internal state and data.

Definition at line 146 of file kencodingprober.cpp.

◆ setProberType()

void KEncodingProber::setProberType ( KEncodingProber::ProberType proberType)

change current prober's ProberType and reset the prober

Definition at line 211 of file kencodingprober.cpp.

◆ state()

KEncodingProber::ProberState KEncodingProber::state ( ) const
Returns
the prober's current ProberState

Definition at line 183 of file kencodingprober.cpp.
