utf_ext 0.2.0

A library for reading and writing text files in any major Unicode format (UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, UTF-32LE, UTF-32BE)

A library for reading and writing text files or streams in any major Unicode format (UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, UTF-32LE, UTF-32BE).

Features

• Asynchronous extension methods to read from and write to UTF streams including as the whole buffer of text or as a list of lines.
• Similar asynchronous and synchronous methods to read from and write to UTF files as well as from stdin and to stdout.
• Ability to specify a callback (closure) acting on every chunk of text or a line of text being read or written. This allows to avoid loading the whole content of a large file into memory before starting any processing. It also allows to avoid format conversions of large block of data after reading or before writing the result.

Usage

See under the Example tab. All sample code files are under the sub-directory example.
