  88. ## ⚡ Performance
  89. This package offer better performance than its counterpart Chardet. Here are some numbers.
  90. | Package | Accuracy | Mean per file (ms) | File per sec (est) |
  91. |-----------------------------------------------|:--------:|:------------------:|:------------------:|
  92. | [chardet](https://github.com/chardet/chardet) | 86 % | 63 ms | 16 file/sec |
  93. | charset-normalizer | **98 %** | **10 ms** | 100 file/sec |
  94. | Package | 99th percentile | 95th percentile | 50th percentile |
  95. |-----------------------------------------------|:---------------:|:---------------:|:---------------:|
  96. | [chardet](https://github.com/chardet/chardet) | 265 ms | 71 ms | 7 ms |
  97. | charset-normalizer | 100 ms | 50 ms | 5 ms |
  98. _updated as of december 2024 using CPython 3.12_
  99. Chardet's performance on larger file (1MB+) are very poor. Expect huge difference on large payload.
  100. > Stats are generated using 400+ files using default parameters. More details on used files, see GHA workflows.
  101. > And yes, these results might change at any time. The dataset can be updated to include more files.
  102. > The actual delays heavily depends on your CPU capabilities. The factors should remain the same.
  103. > Keep in mind that the stats are generous and that Chardet accuracy vs our is measured using Chardet initial capability
  104. > (e.g. Supported Encoding) Challenge-them if you want.
  105. ## ✨ Installation
  106. Using pip:
  107. ```sh
  108. pip install charset-normalizer -U
  109. ```
  110. ## 🚀 Basic Usage
  111. ### CLI
  112. This package comes with a CLI.
  113. ```
  114. usage: normalizer [-h] [-v] [-a] [-n] [-m] [-r] [-f] [-t THRESHOLD]
  115. file [file ...]
  116. The Real First Universal Charset Detector. Discover originating encoding used
  117. on text file. Normalize text to unicode.
  118. positional arguments:
  119. files File(s) to be analysed
  120. optional arguments:
  121. -h, --help show this help message and exit
  122. -v, --verbose Display complementary information about file if any.
  123. Stdout will contain logs about the detection process.
  124. -a, --with-alternative
  125. Output complementary possibilities if any. Top-level
  126. JSON WILL be a list.
  127. -n, --normalize Permit to normalize input file. If not set, program
  128. does not write anything.
  129. -m, --minimal Only output the charset detected to STDOUT. Disabling
  130. JSON output.
  131. -r, --replace Replace file when trying to normalize it instead of
  132. creating a new one.
  133. -f, --force Replace file without asking if you are sure, use this
  134. flag with caution.
  135. -t THRESHOLD, --threshold THRESHOLD
  136. Define a custom maximum amount of chaos allowed in
  137. decoded content. 0. <= chaos <= 1.
  138. --version Show version information and exit.
  139. ```
  140. ```bash
  141. normalizer ./data/sample.1.fr.srt
  142. ```
  143. or
  144. ```bash
  145. python -m charset_normalizer ./data/sample.1.fr.srt
  146. ```
  147. 🎉 Since version 1.4.0 the CLI produce easily usable stdout result in JSON format.
  148. ```json
  149. {
  150. "path": "/home/default/projects/charset_normalizer/data/sample.1.fr.srt",
  151. "encoding": "cp1252",
  152. "encoding_aliases": [
  153. "1252",
  154. "windows_1252"
  155. ],
  156. "alternative_encodings": [
  157. "cp1254",
  158. "cp1256",
  159. "cp1258",
  160. "iso8859_14",
  161. "iso8859_15",
  162. "iso8859_16",
  163. "iso8859_3",
  164. "iso8859_9",
  165. "latin_1",
  166. "mbcs"
  167. ],
  168. "language": "French",
  169. "alphabets": [
  170. "Basic Latin",
  171. "Latin-1 Supplement"
  172. ],
  173. "has_sig_or_bom": false,
  174. "chaos": 0.149,
  175. "coherence": 97.152,
  176. "unicode_path": null,
  177. "is_preferred": true
  178. }
  179. ```
  180. ### Python
  181. *Just print out normalized text*
  182. ```python
  183. from charset_normalizer import from_path
  184. results = from_path('./my_subtitle.srt')
  185. print(str(results.best()))
  186. ```
  187. *Upgrade your code without effort*
  188. ```python
  189. from charset_normalizer import detect
  190. ```
  191. The above code will behave the same as **chardet**. We ensure that we offer the best (reasonable) BC result possible.
  192. See the docs for advanced usage : [readthedocs.io](https://charset-normalizer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
  193. ## 😇 Why
  194. When I started using Chardet, I noticed that it was not suited to my expectations, and I wanted to propose a
  195. reliable alternative using a completely different method. Also! I never back down on a good challenge!
  196. I **don't care** about the **originating charset** encoding, because **two different tables** can
  197. produce **two identical rendered string.**
  198. What I want is to get readable text, the best I can.
  199. In a way, **I'm brute forcing text decoding.** How cool is that ? 😎
  200. Don't confuse package **ftfy** with charset-normalizer or chardet. ftfy goal is to repair Unicode string whereas charset-normalizer to convert raw file in unknown encoding to unicode.
  201. ## 🍰 How
  202. - Discard all charset encoding table that could not fit the binary content.
  203. - Measure noise, or the mess once opened (by chunks) with a corresponding charset encoding.
  204. - Extract matches with the lowest mess detected.
  205. - Additionally, we measure coherence / probe for a language.
  206. **Wait a minute**, what is noise/mess and coherence according to **YOU ?**
  207. *Noise :* I opened hundred of text files, **written by humans**, with the wrong encoding table. **I observed**, then
  208. **I established** some ground rules about **what is obvious** when **it seems like** a mess (aka. defining noise in rendered text).
  209. I know that my interpretation of what is noise is probably incomplete, feel free to contribute in order to
  210. improve or rewrite it.
  211. *Coherence :* For each language there is on earth, we have computed ranked letter appearance occurrences (the best we can). So I thought
  212. that intel is worth something here. So I use those records against decoded text to check if I can detect intelligent design.
  213. ## ⚡ Known limitations
  214. - Language detection is unreliable when text contains two or more languages sharing identical letters. (eg. HTML (english tags) + Turkish content (Sharing Latin characters))
  215. - Every charset detector heavily depends on sufficient content. In common cases, do not bother run detection on very tiny content.
  216. ## ⚠️ About Python EOLs
  217. **If you are running:**
  218. - Python >=2.7,<3.5: Unsupported
  219. - Python 3.5: charset-normalizer < 2.1
  220. - Python 3.6: charset-normalizer < 3.1
  221. - Python 3.7: charset-normalizer < 4.0
  222. Upgrade your Python interpreter as soon as possible.
