chardet [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/runk/node-chardet.png)](https://travis-ci.org/runk/node-chardet)
=====

Chardet is a character detection module for NodeJS written in pure Javascript.
Module is based on ICU project http://site.icu-project.org/, which uses character
occurency analysis to determine the most probable encoding.

## Installation

```
npm i chardet
```

## Usage

To return the encoding with the highest confidence:
```javascript
var chardet = require('chardet');
chardet.detect(Buffer.alloc('hello there!'));
// or
chardet.detectFile('/path/to/file', function(err, encoding) {});
// or
chardet.detectFileSync('/path/to/file');
```


To return the full list of possible encodings:
```javascript
var chardet = require('chardet');
chardet.detectAll(Buffer.alloc('hello there!'));
// or
chardet.detectFileAll('/path/to/file', function(err, encoding) {});
// or
chardet.detectFileAllSync('/path/to/file');

//Returned value is an array of objects sorted by confidence value in decending order
//e.g. [{ confidence: 90, name: 'UTF-8'}, {confidence: 20, name: 'windows-1252', lang: 'fr'}]
```

## Working with large data sets

Sometimes, when data set is huge and you want to optimize performace (in tradeoff of less accuracy),
you can sample only first N bytes of the buffer:

```javascript
chardet.detectFile('/path/to/file', { sampleSize: 32 }, function(err, encoding) {});
```

## Supported Encodings:
