galileo_utf 3.0.0

Provides common operations for manipulating Unicode sequences

galileo_utf

Utility helpers and codecs for working with Unicode in pure Dart. The package exposes fast UTF-8/16/32 encoders, decoders, iterable transformers, and convenience methods for stepping between strings, code units, and code points in a null-safe API surface.

Highlights

• Decode or encode UTF-8/UTF-16/UTF-32 byte sequences without materializing intermediate buffers.
• Stream transformers for UTF-8 that can be composed with Stream<List<int>> pipelines.
• Helpers such as stringToCodepoints that bridge String code units and Unicode scalar values.
• Configurable replacement code points so consumers can choose between strict validation and lossy decoding.

Install

Add the dependency in your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
    galileo_utf: ^3.0.0

Then install:

dart pub get

Quick start

import 'package:galileo_utf/galileo_utf.dart';

void main() {
	const phrase = 'Îñţérñåţîöñåļîžåţîờñ';

	// UTF-8 round-trip
	final utf8Bytes = encodeUtf8(phrase);
	final decoded = decodeUtf8(utf8Bytes);

	// Work with code points directly
	final codepoints = stringToCodepoints(phrase);
	final utf16 = codepointsToUtf16CodeUnits(codepoints);

	print(decoded); // Îñţérñåţîöñåļîžåţîờñ
	print('Code points: ${codepoints.length}, UTF-16 units: ${utf16.length}');
}

For streaming workloads, use the provided transformers:

final stream = Stream.value(encodeUtf8('Hello 👋'));
await for (final chunk in stream.transform(Utf8DecoderTransformer())) {
	print(chunk); // Hello 👋
}
