Codepages for JS

Codepages are character encodings. In many contexts, single-byte character sets are used in lieu of standard multibyte Unicode encodings. They use 256 characters with a simple mapping.

unicode.org hosts lists of mappings. The build script automatically downloads and parses the mappings in order to generate the full script. The pages.csv description in codepage.md controls which codepages are used.

Setup

In the browser:

<script src="cptable.js"></script>
<script src="cputils.js"></script>

The complete set of codepages is large because of some Double Byte Character Set encodings. A much smaller file that just includes SBCS codepages is provided in this repo (sbcs.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:

<script src="bits/10000.js"></script>
<script src="bits/10006.js"></script>
<script src="bits/10007.js"></script>
<script src="bits/10029.js"></script>
<script src="bits/10079.js"></script>
<script src="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.

In node:

var cptable = require('codepage');

Usage

The codepages are indexed by number. To get the unicode character for a given codepoint, use the dec property:

var unicode_cp10000_255 = cptable[10000].dec[255]; // ˇ

To get the codepoint for a given character, use the enc property:

var cp10000_711 = cptable[10000].enc[String.fromCharCode(711)]; // 255

There are a few utilities that deal with strings and buffers:

var 汇总 = cptable.utils.decode(936, [0xbb,0xe3,0xd7,0xdc]);
var buf =  cptable.utils.encode(936,  汇总);

Building the script

This script uses voc. The script to build the codepage tables and the JS source is codepage.md, so building is as simple as voc codepage.md.

Supported Codepages

The standard Windows codepages are supported:

  • 1250 Windows Central Europe
  • 1251 Windows Cyrillic
  • 1252 Windows Latin I
  • 1253 Windows Green
  • 1254 Windows Turkish
  • 1255 Windows Hebrew
  • 1256 Windows Arabic
  • 1257 Windows Baltic
  • 1258 Windows Vietnam
  • 874 Windows Thai

The full collection of ISO-8859 codepages are also supported. The East-Asian Double Byte Character Sets are also supported:

  • 932 Japanese Shift-JIS
  • 936 Simplified Chinese GBK
  • 949 Korean
  • 950 Traditional Chinese Big5

The complete list of supported codepages can be found in the file pages.csv.

Missing Codepages

The following codepages are not implemented. Normative references may not be available in all cases. Furthermore, other software packages are known to hack certain codepages (for example, Mozilla treats ASMO-708 as an alias of Arabic ISO-8869-6 when in fact there are many differences), so all implementations should be cleanroom when possible.
