webencodings is a Python implementation of the [WHATWG Encoding standard
].
In order to be compatible with legacy web content when interpreting
something like
``Content-Type: text/html; charset=latin1``, tools need to use a particular
set of
aliases for encoding labels as well as some overriding rules. For example,
``US-ASCII
and iso-8859-1 on the web are actually aliases for windows-1252``, and an
UTF-8 or
UTF-16 BOM takes precedence over any other encoding declaration. The
Encoding standard
defines all such details so that implementations do not have to
reverse-engineer each
other.
This module has encoding labels and BOM detection, but the actual
implementation for
encoders and decoders is Python’s.
