Where did code.google.com/p/go-charset/charset go?

[Peter Kleiweg]

I mean, it's still there, for now, but read only. And next year, you

can't get it with go get.

Is there an "official" clone on another site? I found

github.com/paulrosania/go-charset/charset, but there are a lot of

projects named go-charset on github.

Why isn't this in the golang.org repository? It is required for the

standard package "encoding/xml" to decode xml that isn't utf-8.

It's not even in golang.org/x/text.

It was Roger Peppe's code, so I assume his repo is the most "official"

https://github.com/rogpeppe/go-charset

Note that the package description at https://github.com/rogpeppe/go-charset says “(superceded)”. And code.google.com/p/mahonia (my character-set conversion library) say “deprecated”. Roger Peppe doesn’t say what he recommends to use instead, but I recommend the golang.org/x/text/encoding packages. But one thing they are missing is a function to return an encoding by name. For that, you can use the NewReaderLabel function in golang.org/x/net/html/charset. It supports all the encodings supported by HTML5, and uses the implementations from x/text/encoding.

I tried with golang.org/x/text/transform, but this won't compile:

  d := xml.NewDecoder(os.Stdin)

d.CharsetReader = transform.NewReader

var t myType

err := d.Decode(&t)

I get:

    cannot use transform.NewReader (type func(io.Reader, transform.Transformer) *transform.Reader) as type func(string, io.Reader) (io.Reader, error) in assignment

import (

"golang.org/x/net/html/charset"

"encoding/xml"

)

dec := xml.NewDecoder(fd)

dec.CharsetReader = charset.NewReaderLabel

I'll second Andy's recommendation. I haven't looked at go-charset for
a long time.

cheers,
