charset-norm
A Rust rewrite of charset_normalizer, the universal charset detector for Python.
The detection core (codecs, Unicode tables, mess and coherence analysis) is
the charset-norm Rust crate, usable on its own; the
charset_norm Python package wraps it through PyO3 and keeps the original
charset_normalizer API.
| Path | What |
|---|---|
crates/charset-norm |
Rust library (publishable to crates.io) |
crates/charset-norm-python |
PyO3 bindings built as charset_norm._native |
src/charset_norm |
Python package |
Installation
Requires Python 3.9+ and, when building from source, Rust 1.98+.
pip install charset-norm
# or using uv
uv add charset-norm
Prebuilt wheels cover Linux (x86_64, arm64), Windows and macOS (arm64) for CPython 3.9+ (abi3), free-threaded CPython 3.14 and PyPy 3.11/3.12. Other platforms build from the source distribution. To install the latest code:
pip install git+https://github.com/RustedBytes/charset-norm.git
Usage
from charset_norm import from_bytes, from_path
best = from_path("./my_subtitle.srt").best()
print(best.encoding, str(best))
payload = "Всеки човек има право на образование.".encode("cp1251")
print(from_bytes(payload).best().encoding) # cp1251
A chardet-compatible detect() is also available:
from charset_norm import detect
Command line:
normalizer ./data/sample-french.txt
Rust
[dependencies]
charset-norm = "4.1"
let results = charset_norm::from_bytes(&payload);
if let Some(best) = results.best() {
println!("{} {}", best.encoding(), best.decoded()?);
}
See the crate README for more.
Development
pip install maturin
maturin develop --release
pip install --group dev
pytest
cargo test --workspace --all-features
License
MIT. Based on charset_normalizer by Ahmed TAHRI (@Ousret).
