Hello everyone,
Since I regularly work with Unicode text, I have started to design a Unicode library for handling UTF 8,16 and 32. The current support in C++ is still limited.
Mainly I'm trying to implement a STL like support for file reading/writing, I/O operations and memory storage. So a user could read/write and process Unicode text like an ASCII string without knowing how the text is encoded.
I thought people might have use for it. Even though libraries like ICU exist, they aren't beginner friendly and I couldn't find one with decent support for I/O.
Is there demand for this? And if so do you guys have any suggestions?
I've been working on a proposed Boost library called Boost.Text for some time now. It's not yet ready for review, but I posted about initial interest a while back. You can find it here: https://github.com/tzlaine/text Zach
