| UCDN - Unicode Database and Normalization |
| |
| UCDN is a Unicode support library. Currently, it provides access |
| to basic character properties contained in the Unicode Character |
| Database and low-level normalization functions (pairwise canonical |
| composition/decomposition and compatibility decomposition). More |
| functionality might be provided in the future, such as additional |
| properties, string normalization and encoding conversion. |
| |
| UCDN uses standard C89 with no particular dependencies or requirements |
| except for stdint.h, and can be easily integrated into existing |
| projects. However, it can also be used as a standalone library, |
| and a CMake build script is provided for this. The first motivation |
| behind UCDN development was to provide a standalone set of Unicode |
| functions for the HarfBuzz OpenType shaping library. For this purpose, |
| a HarfBuzz-specific wrapper is shipped along with it (hb-ucdn.h). |
| |
| UCDN is published under the ISC license, please see the license header |
| in the C source code for more information. The makeunicodata.py script |
| required for parsing Unicode database files is licensed under the |
| PSF license, please see PYTHON-LICENSE for more information. |
| |
| UCDN was written by Grigori Goronzy <greg@kinoho.net>. |
| |
| How to Use |
| |
| Include ucdn.c, ucdn.h and ucdn_db.h in your project. Now, just use the |
| functions as documented in ucdn.h. |
| |
| In some cases, it might be necessary to regenerate the Unicode |
| database file. The script makeunicodedata.py (Python 3.x required) |
| fetches the appropriate files and dumps the compressed database into |
| ucdn_db.h. |
