The Text::Iconv module provides a Perl interface to the iconv() function
as defined by the Single UNIX Specification. The convert() method
converts the encoding of characters in the input string from the
fromcode codeset to the tocode codeset, and returns the result.
IMAP mailbox names are encoded in a modified UTF7 when names contains
international characters outside of the printable ASCII range. The
modified UTF-7 encoding is defined in RFC2060 (section 5.1.3).
This module converts strings from and to 2-byte Unicode UCS2 format.
All mappings happen via 2 byte UTF16 encodings, not via 1 byte UTF8
encoding. To convert between UTF8 and UTF16 use Unicode::String.
For historical reasons this module coexists with Unicode::Map8.
Please use Unicode::Map8 unless you need to care for >1 byte character
sets, e.g. chinese GB2312. Anyway, if you stick to the basic
functionality (see documentation) you can use both modules equivalently.
Practically this module will disappear from earth sooner or later as
Unicode mapping support needs somehow to get into perl's core. If you
like to work on this field please don't hesitate contacting Gisle Aas
and check out the mailing list perl-unicode!
Unicode::Map8
-------------
The Unicode::Map8 class implement efficient mapping tables between
8-bit character sets and 16 bit character sets like Unicode. About
170 different mapping tables between various known character sets and
Unicode is distributed with this package. The source of these tables
is the vendor mapping tables provided by Unicode, Inc. and the code
tables in RFC 1345. New maps can easily be installed.
By coincidence Martin Schwartz created a similar module at the same
time I did. His module is called Unicode::Map and should be available
on CPAN too. Both modules now support a unified interface. Martin's
module will be depreciated in the future.
Since UTF8 support is coming to Perl soon, there might be good reasons
to move this module in the direction of mapping to/from UTF8. I will
probably do so, once the Unicode support in the Perl core settle.

Perl extension to turn off UTF-8 flags inside of comprex variable.
Provides an adapter layer between core routines for converting
to and from UTF8 and other encodings. In essence, a way to give
multiple existing Unicode modules a single common interface so
you don't have to know the underlaying implementations to do
simple UTF8 to-from other character set string conversions.
As such, it wraps the Unicode::String, Unicode::Map8,
Unicode::Map and Jcode modules in a standardized and simple
API.
Provides UTF-8 conversion for perl versions from 5.00 and up. It
was mainly written for use with perl 5.00 to 5.6.0 because those
perl versions do not support Unicode::MapUTF8 or Encode.
Unicode::UTF8simple is written in plain perl (no C code) and will
work with any Perl 5 version. It is just slightly slower than Encode.
This module implements the stringprep framework for preparing
Unicode text strings in order to increase the likelihood that
string input and string comparison work in ways that make sense
for typical users throughout the world. The stringprep protocol
is useful for protocol identifier values, company and personal
names, internationalized domain names, and other text strings.
The stringprep framework does not specify how protocols should
prepare text strings. Protocols must create profiles of
stringprep in order to fully specify the processing options.
A fast JSON parser and generator optimized for statistical data and
the web. Started out as a fork of RJSONIO, but has been completely
rewritten in recent versions. The package offers flexible, robust,
high performance tools for working with JSON in R and is particularly
powerful for building pipelines and interacting with web APIs. The
implementation is based on the mapping described in the vignette
of the package (Ooms, 2014). In addition to drop-in replacements
for toJSON and fromJSON, jsonlite contains functions to stream,
validate, and prettify JSON data. The unit tests included with the
package verify that all edge cases are encoded and decoded consistently
for use with dynamic data in systems and applications.
WAP::wbxml module implements binarisation of XML file according the
specification:
* WAP - Wireless Application Protocol / Binary XML Content Format
Specification / Version 1.3 WBXML (15th May 2000 Approved)
The binary format was designed to preserve the element structure of XML.
