js-codepage
Codepages?are character encodings. In many contexts, single- or double-byte character sets are used in lieu of Unicode encodings. The codepages map between characters and numbers.
In node:
varcptable=require('codepage');
In the browser:
<scriptsrc="cptable.js"></script><scriptsrc="cputils.js"></script>
Alternatively, use the full version in the dist folder:
<scriptsrc="cptable.full.js"></script>
The complete set of codepages is large due to some Double Byte Character Set encodings. A much smaller file that only includes SBCS codepages is provided in this repo (sbcs.js), as well as a file for other projects (cpexcel.js)
If you know which codepages you need, you can include individual scripts for each codepage. The individual files are provided in the?bits/?directory. For example, to include only the Mac codepages:
<scriptsrc="bits/10000.js"></script><scriptsrc="bits/10006.js"></script><scriptsrc="bits/10007.js"></script><scriptsrc="bits/10029.js"></script><scriptsrc="bits/10079.js"></script><scriptsrc="bits/10081.js"></script>
All of the browser scripts define and append to the?cptable?object. To rename the object, edit the?JSVAR?shell variable in?make.sh?and run the script.
The utilities functions are contained in?cputils.js, which assumes that the appropriate codepage scripts were loaded.
The script will manipulate?module.exports?if available . This is not always desirable. To prevent the behavior, define?DO_NOT_EXPORT_CODEPAGE.
Most codepages are indexed by number. To get the Unicode character for a given codepoint, use the?dec?property:
varunicode_cp10000_255=cptable[10000].dec[255];// ˇ
To get the codepoint for a given character, use the?enc?property:
varcp10000_711=cptable[10000].enc[String.fromCharCode(711)];// 255
There are a few utilities that deal with strings and buffers:
var匯總=cptable.utils.decode(936,[0xbb,0xe3,0xd7,0xdc]);varbuf=cptable.utils.encode(936,匯總);varsushi=cptable.utils.decode(65001,[0xf0,0x9f,0x8d,0xa3]);// ??varsbuf=cptable.utils.encode(65001,sushi);
cptable.utils.encode(CP, data, ofmt)?accepts a String or Array of characters and returns a representation controlled by?ofmt:
Default output is a Buffer (or Array) of bytes (integers between 0 and 255)
If?ofmt == 'str', return a binary String (byte?i?is?o.charCodeAt(i))
If?ofmt == 'arr', return an Array of bytes
cptable.utils.decode(CP, data)?accepts a byte String or Array of numbers or Buffer and returns a JS string.
A much smaller script, including only the codepages known to be used in Excel, is available under the name?cpexcel. It exposes the same variable?cptable?and is suitable as a drop-in replacement when the full codepage tables are not needed.
In node:
varcptable=require('codepage/dist/cpexcel.full');
The?make.sh?script in the repo can take a manifest and generate JS source.
Usage:
$ bash make.sh path_to_manifest output_file_name JSVAR
where
JSVAR?is the name of the exported variable (generally?cptable)
output_file_name?is the output file (cpexcel.js,?cptable.js, ...)
path_to_manifest?is the path to the manifest file.
The manifest file is expected to be a CSV with 3 columns:
<codepage number>,<source>,<size>
If a source is specified, it will try to download the specified file and parse. The file format is expected to follow the format from the unicode.org site. The size should be?1?for a single-byte codepage and?2?for a double-byte codepage. For mixed codepages (which use some single- and some double-byte codes), the script assumes the mapping is a prefix code and generates efficient JS code.
Generated scripts only include the mapping.?cat?a mapping with?cputils.js?to produce a complete script like?cpexcel.full.js.
This script uses?voc. The script to build the codepage tables and the JS source is?codepage.md, so building involves?voc codepage.md.
The complete list of codepages can be found in the file?pages.csv.
Some codepages are easier to implement algorithmically. Since those character tables are not generated, there is no corresponding entry (they are "magic").

unicode.org?refers to the Unicode Consortium Public Mappings, a database of various mappings between Unicode characters and respective character sets. The tables are processed by a few scripts in the build process.
IBM?refers to the IBM coded character set database. Even though IBM uses a different numbering scheme from Windows, the IBM numbers are used when there is no conflict. The tables are manually generated from the symbol manifests.
Windows 7?refers to direct inspection of Windows 7 machines using .NET class?System.Text.Encoding. The enclosed?MakeEncoding.cs?C# program brute-forces code pages.?MakeEncoding.cs?deviates from unicode.org in some cases. When they map a given code to different characters, unicode.org value is used. When unicode.org does not prescribe a value,?MakeEncoding.cs?value is used.
NLS?refers to the National Language Support files supplied in various versions of Windows. In older versions of Windows (like Windows 98) these files followed the name pattern?CP_#.NLS, but newer versions use the name pattern?C_#.NLS.
make test?will run the nodejs-based test.
To run the in-browser tests, run a local server and go to the?ctest?directory.?make ctestserv?will start a python?SimpleHTTPServer?server on port 8000.
To update the browser artifacts, run?make ctest.
