Hi guys!
My question is related to the file encoding topic. I’m working on a feature that allows users to upload a CSV file that might be in different charset. It’s not only about UTF-8 and I need to detect given encoding and then parse data.
In Golang, Python, Java, C++, Objective-C we have UniversalDetector/chardet libraries. Do we have something similar to the Elixir/Erlang usage? I’m stuck with this.
How are you working with the different charsets/encodings in Elixir applications? I know - that’s not the main problem to which was designed this language, but I won’t use erlports or AWS Lambda only for detecting charset. ![]()
