Detailed Description

Provides encoding detection capabilities.

Searches for encoding declaration inside raw data – meta and xml tags. In the case it can't find it, uses heuristics for specified language.

If it finds unicode BOM marks, it changes encoding regardless of what the user has told

Intended lifetime of the object: one instance per document.

Typical use:

QByteArray data;
...
KEncodingDetector detector;
detector.setAutoDetectLanguage(KEncodingDetector::Cyrillic);
QString out=detector.decode(data);

Do not mix decode() with decodeWithBuffering()

Guess encoding of char array

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KEncodingDetector() [1/2]

KEncodingDetector::KEncodingDetector

(

)

Default codec is latin1 (as html spec says), EncodingChoiceSource is default, AutoDetectScript=Semiautomatic.

Definition at line 646 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

KEncodingDetector() [2/2]

KEncodingDetector::KEncodingDetector	(	QTextCodec *	codec,
		EncodingChoiceSource	source,
		AutoDetectScript	script = None
	)

Allows to set Default codec, EncodingChoiceSource, AutoDetectScript.

Definition at line 650 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

analyze()

bool KEncodingDetector::analyze ( const char *  data, int  len  )

protected

Analyze text data.

Returns

true if there was enough data for accurate detection

Definition at line 859 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

decode()

QString KEncodingDetector::decode	(	const char *	data,
		int	len
	)

The main class method.

Calls protected analyze() only the first time of the whole object life

Replaces all null chars with spaces.

Definition at line 767 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

decodedInvalidCharacters()

bool KEncodingDetector::decodedInvalidCharacters

(

)

const

This method checks whether invalid characters were found during a decoding operation.

Note that this bit is never reset once invalid characters have been found. To force a reset, either change the encoding using setEncoding() or call resetDecoder()

Returns

a boolean reflecting said state.

Since

4.3

See also

resetDecoder() setEncoding()

Definition at line 839 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

decoder()

QTextDecoder * KEncodingDetector::decoder ( )

protected

Returns

QTextDecoder for detected encoding

Definition at line 690 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

decodeWithBuffering()

QString KEncodingDetector::decodeWithBuffering	(	const char *	data,
		int	len
	)

Convenience method that uses buffering.

It waits for full html head to be buffered (i.e. calls analyze every time until it returns true).

Replaces all null chars with spaces.

Returns

Decoded data, or empty string, if there was not enough data for accurate detection

See also

flush()

Definition at line 789 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

encoding()

const char * KEncodingDetector::encoding

(

)

const

Convenience method.

Returns

mime name of detected encoding

Definition at line 674 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

errorsIfUtf8()

bool KEncodingDetector::errorsIfUtf8 ( const char *  data, int  length  )

protected

Check if we are really utf8.

Taken from kate

Returns

true if current encoding is utf8 and the text cannot be in this encoding

Please somebody read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 and check this code...

Definition at line 586 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

flush()

QString KEncodingDetector::flush

(

)

Convenience method to be used with decodeForHtml.

Flushes buffer.

See also

decodeForHtml()

Definition at line 844 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

processNull()

bool KEncodingDetector::processNull ( char *  data, int  length  )

protected

This nice method will kill all 0 bytes (or double bytes) and remember if this was a binary or not ;)

Definition at line 563 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

resetDecoder()

void KEncodingDetector::resetDecoder

(

)

Resets the decoder.

Any stateful decoding information (such as resulting from previous calls to decodeWithBuffering()) will be lost. Will Reset the state of decodedInvalidCharacters() as a side effect.

Since

4.3

See also

decodeWithBuffering() decodedInvalidCharacters()

Definition at line 695 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

scriptForName()

KEncodingDetector::AutoDetectScript KEncodingDetector::scriptForName ( const QString &  lang )

static

Takes lang name after it were i18n()'ed.

Definition at line 1119 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.

setEncoding()

bool KEncodingDetector::setEncoding	(	const char *	encoding,
		EncodingChoiceSource	type
	)

Returns

true if specified encoding was recognized

Definition at line 709 of file kencodingdetector.cpp.
