# [#<Encoding:UTF-8>, #<Encoding:UTF-16BE>]]
Class Method Details
Returns the corresponding ASCII compatible encoding.
Returns nil if the argument is an ASCII compatible encoding.
“corresponding ASCII compatible encoding” is an ASCII compatible encoding which can represents exactly the same characters as the given ASCII incompatible encoding. So, no conversion undefined error occurs when converting between the two encodings.
Encoding::Converter.asciicompat_encoding("ISO-2022-JP") #=> #<Encoding:stateless-ISO-2022-JP>
Encoding::Converter.asciicompat_encoding("UTF-16BE") #=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
Encoding::Converter.asciicompat_encoding("UTF-8") #=> nil
Returns a conversion path.

ec.replacement = "<undef>"
p ec.convert("a \u3042 b") #=> "a <undef> b"
Instance Method Details
#==(other) ⇒ Boolean
#convert(source_string) ⇒ destination_string
Convert source_string and return destination_string.
source_string is assumed as a part of source. i.e. :partial_input=>true is specified internally. finish method should be used last.
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("utf-8", "euc-jp")
puts ec.convert("\u3042").dump #=> "\xA4\xA2"
puts ec.finish.dump #=> ""
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("euc-jp", "utf-8")
puts ec.convert("\xA4").dump #=> ""
puts ec.convert("\xA2").dump #=> "\xE3\x81\x82"
puts ec.finish.dump #=> ""
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("utf-8", "iso-2022-jp")
puts ec.convert("\xE3").dump #=> "".force_encoding("ISO-2022-JP")
puts ec.convert("\x81").dump #=> "".force_encoding("ISO-2022-JP")
puts ec.convert("\x82").dump #=> "\e$B$\"".force_encoding("ISO-2022-JP")
puts ec.finish.dump #=> "\e(B".force_encoding("ISO-2022-JP")
If a conversion error occur, UndefinedConversionError or InvalidByteSequenceError is raised. convert
doesn't supply methods to recover or restart from these exceptions. When you want to handle these conversion errors, use #primitive_convert.
#convpath ⇒ Array
Returns the conversion path of ec.
The result is an array of conversions.
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("ISO-8859-1", "EUC-JP", crlf_newline: true)
p ec.convpath
#=> [[#<Encoding:ISO-8859-1>, #<Encoding:UTF-8>],
# [#<Encoding:UTF-8>, #<Encoding:EUC-JP>],
# "crlf_newline"]
Each element of the array is a pair of encodings or a string. A pair means an encoding conversion. A string means a decorator.
In the above example, [#<Encoding:ISO-8859-1>, #<Encoding:UTF-8>] means a converter from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. “crlf_newline” means newline converter from LF to CRLF.
#destination_encoding ⇒ Encoding
Returns the destination encoding as an ::Encoding object.
#finish ⇒ String
#insert_output(string) ⇒ nil
Inserts string into the encoding converter. The string will be converted to the destination encoding and output on later conversions.
If the destination encoding is stateful, string is converted according to the state and the state is updated.
This method should be used only when a conversion error occurs.
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("utf-8", "iso-8859-1")
src = "HIRAGANA LETTER A is \u{3042}."
dst = ""
p ec.primitive_convert(src, dst) #=> :undefined_conversion
puts "[#{dst.dump}, #{src.dump}]" #=> ["HIRAGANA LETTER A is ", "."]
ec.insert_output("<err>")
p ec.primitive_convert(src, dst) #=> :finished
puts "[#{dst.dump}, #{src.dump}]" #=> ["HIRAGANA LETTER A is <err>.", ""]
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("utf-8", "iso-2022-jp")
src = "\u{306F 3041 3068 2661 3002}" # U+2661 is not representable in iso-2022-jp
dst = ""
p ec.primitive_convert(src, dst) #=> :undefined_conversion
puts "[#{dst.dump}, #{src.dump}]" #=> ["\e$B$O$!$H".force_encoding("ISO-2022-JP"), "\xE3\x80\x82"]
ec.insert_output "?" # state change required to output "?".
p ec.primitive_convert(src, dst) #=> :finished
puts "[#{dst.dump}, #{src.dump}]" #=> ["\e$B$O$!$H\e(B?\e$B!#\e(B".force_encoding("ISO-2022-JP"), ""]
#last_error ⇒ Exception?
Returns an exception object for the last conversion. Returns nil if the last conversion did not produce an error.
“error” means that InvalidByteSequenceError and UndefinedConversionError for #convert and :invalid_byte_sequence
, :incomplete_input
and :undefined_conversion
for #primitive_convert.
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("utf-8", "iso-8859-1")
p ec.primitive_convert(src="\xf1abcd", dst="") #=> :invalid_byte_sequence
p ec.last_error #=> #<Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError: "\xF1" followed by "a" on UTF-8>

#primitive_convert(source_buffer, destination_buffer, destination_byteoffset, destination_bytesize) ⇒ Symbol
#primitive_convert(source_buffer, destination_buffer, destination_byteoffset, destination_bytesize, opt) ⇒ Symbol
possible opt elements:
hash form:
:partial_input => true # source buffer may be part of larger source
:after_output => true # stop conversion after output before input
integer form:
Encoding::Converter::PARTIAL_INPUT

possible results:
:invalid_byte_sequence
:incomplete_input
:undefined_conversion
:after_output
:destination_buffer_full
:source_buffer_empty
:finished
primitive_convert converts source_buffer into destination_buffer.
source_buffer should be a string or nil. nil means an empty string.
destination_buffer should be a string.
destination_byteoffset should be an integer or nil. nil means the end of destination_buffer. If it is omitted, nil is assumed.
destination_bytesize should be an integer or nil. nil means unlimited. If it is omitted, nil is assumed.
opt should be nil, a hash or an integer. nil means no flags. If it is omitted, nil is assumed.
primitive_convert converts the content of source_buffer from beginning and store the result into destination_buffer.
destination_byteoffset and destination_bytesize specify the region which the converted result is stored. destination_byteoffset specifies the start position in destination_buffer in bytes. If destination_byteoffset is nil, destination_buffer.bytesize is used for appending the result. destination_bytesize specifies maximum number of bytes. If destination_bytesize is nil, destination size is unlimited. After conversion, destination_buffer is resized to destination_byteoffset + actually produced number of bytes. Also destination_buffer's encoding is set to destination_encoding.
primitive_convert drops the converted part of source_buffer. the dropped part is converted in destination_buffer or buffered in Converter
object.
primitive_convert stops conversion when one of following condition met.
-
invalid byte sequence found in source buffer (:invalid_byte_sequence)
primitive_errinfo
andlast_error
methods returns the detail of the error. -
unexpected end of source buffer (:incomplete_input) this occur only when :partial_input is not specified.
primitive_errinfo
andlast_error
methods returns the detail of the error. -
character not representable in output encoding (:undefined_conversion)
primitive_errinfo
andlast_error
methods returns the detail of the error. -
after some output is generated, before input is done (:after_output) this occur only when :after_output is specified.
-
destination buffer is full (:destination_buffer_full) this occur only when destination_bytesize is non-nil.
-
source buffer is empty (:source_buffer_empty) this occur only when :partial_input is specified.
-
conversion is finished (:finished)
example:
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("UTF-8", "UTF-16BE")
ret = ec.primitive_convert(src="pi", dst="", nil, 100)
p [ret, src, dst] #=> [:finished, "", "\x00p\x00i"]
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("UTF-8", "UTF-16BE")
ret = ec.primitive_convert(src="pi", dst="", nil, 1)
p [ret, src, dst] #=> [:destination_buffer_full, "i", "\x00"]
ret = ec.primitive_convert(src, dst="", nil, 1)
p [ret, src, dst] #=> [:destination_buffer_full, "", "p"]
ret = ec.primitive_convert(src, dst="", nil, 1)
p [ret, src, dst] #=> [:destination_buffer_full, "", "\x00"]
ret = ec.primitive_convert(src, dst="", nil, 1)
p [ret, src, dst] #=> [:finished, "", "i"]
#primitive_errinfo ⇒ Array
primitive_errinfo returns important information regarding the last error as a 5-element array:
[result, enc1, enc2, error_bytes, readagain_bytes]
result is the last result of primitive_convert.
Other elements are only meaningful when result is :invalid_byte_sequence
, :incomplete_input
or :undefined_conversion
.
enc1 and enc2 indicate a conversion step as a pair of strings. For example, a converter from EUC-JP to ISO-8859-1 converts a string as follows: EUC-JP -> UTF-8 -> ISO-8859-1. So [enc1, enc2] is either [“EUC-JP”, “UTF-8”] or [“UTF-8”, “ISO-8859-1”].
error_bytes and readagain_bytes indicate the byte sequences which caused the error. error_bytes is discarded portion. readagain_bytes is buffered portion which is read again on next conversion.
Example:
# \xff is invalid as EUC-JP.
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("EUC-JP", "Shift_JIS")
ec.primitive_convert(src="\xff", dst="", nil, 10)
p ec.primitive_errinfo
#=> [:invalid_byte_sequence, "EUC-JP", "UTF-8", "\xFF", ""]
# HIRAGANA LETTER A (\xa4\xa2 in EUC-JP) is not representable in ISO-8859-1.
# Since this error is occur in UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 conversion,
# error_bytes is HIRAGANA LETTER A in UTF-8 (\xE3\x81\x82).
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("EUC-JP", "ISO-8859-1")
ec.primitive_convert(src="\xa4\xa2", dst="", nil, 10)
p ec.primitive_errinfo
#=> [:undefined_conversion, "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", "\xE3\x81\x82", ""]
# partial character is invalid
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("EUC-JP", "ISO-8859-1")
ec.primitive_convert(src="\xa4", dst="", nil, 10)
p ec.primitive_errinfo
#=> [:incomplete_input, "EUC-JP", "UTF-8", "\xA4", ""]
# Encoding::Converter::PARTIAL_INPUT prevents invalid errors by
# partial characters.
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("EUC-JP", "ISO-8859-1")
ec.primitive_convert(src="\xa4", dst="", nil, 10, Encoding::Converter::PARTIAL_INPUT)
p ec.primitive_errinfo
#=> [:source_buffer_empty, nil, nil, nil, nil]
# \xd8\x00\x00@ is invalid as UTF-16BE because
# no low surrogate after high surrogate (\xd8\x00).
# It is detected by 3rd byte (\00) which is part of next character.
# So the high surrogate (\xd8\x00) is discarded and
# the 3rd byte is read again later.
# Since the byte is buffered in ec, it is dropped from src.
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("UTF-16BE", "UTF-8")
ec.primitive_convert(src="\xd8\x00\x00@", dst="", nil, 10)
p ec.primitive_errinfo
#=> [:invalid_byte_sequence, "UTF-16BE", "UTF-8", "\xD8\x00", "\x00"]
p src
#=> "@"
# Similar to UTF-16BE, \x00\xd8@\x00 is invalid as UTF-16LE.
# The problem is detected by 4th byte.
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("UTF-16LE", "UTF-8")
ec.primitive_convert(src="\x00\xd8@\x00", dst="", nil, 10)
p ec.primitive_errinfo
#=> [:invalid_byte_sequence, "UTF-16LE", "UTF-8", "\x00\xD8", "@\x00"]
p src
#=> ""
Put back the bytes which will be converted.
The bytes are caused by invalid_byte_sequence error. When invalid_byte_sequence error, some bytes are discarded and some bytes are buffered to be converted later. The latter bytes can be put back. It can be observed by InvalidByteSequenceError#readagain_bytes and #primitive_errinfo.
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("utf-16le", "iso-8859-1")
src = "\x00\xd8\x61\x00"
dst = ""
p ec.primitive_convert(src, dst) #=> :invalid_byte_sequence
p ec.primitive_errinfo #=> [:invalid_byte_sequence, "UTF-16LE", "UTF-8", "\x00\xD8", "a\x00"]
p ec.putback #=> "a\x00"
p ec.putback #=> "" # no more bytes to put back
#source_encoding ⇒ Encoding
Returns the source encoding as an ::Encoding object.
