How To Use It

Node

npm install jschardet
var jschardet = require("jschardet")

// "àíàçã" in UTF-8
jschardet.detect("\xc3\xa0\xc3\xad\xc3\xa0\xc3\xa7\xc3\xa3")
// { encoding: "UTF-8", confidence: 0.9690625 }

// "次常用國字標準字體表" in Big5
jschardet.detect("\xa6\xb8\xb1\x60\xa5\xce\xb0\xea\xa6\x72\xbc\xd0\xb7\xc7\xa6\x72\xc5\xe9\xaa\xed")
// { encoding: "Big5", confidence: 0.99 }

Browser

Copy and include jschardet.min.js in your web page.

This library is also available in cdnjs at https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jschardet/1.4.1/jschardet.min.js

Options

// See all information related to the confidence levels of each encoding.
// This is useful to see why you're not getting the expected encoding.
jschardet.Constants._debug = true;

// Default minimum accepted confidence level is 0.20 but sometimes this is not
// enough, specially when dealing with files mostly with numbers.
// To change this to 0 to always get something or any other value that can
// work for you.
jschardet.Constants.MINIMUM_THRESHOLD = 0;
