[![License: MIT](http://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-lightgrey.svg?style=flat)](https://github.com/orchetect/swift-ascii/blob/main/LICENSE)\n\nIntroduces `ASCIIString` and `ASCIICharacter` types for Swift offering validation and lossy conversion from `String`.\n\nComplete unit test coverage.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Swift Package Manager (SPM)\n\nTo add this package to an Xcode app project, use:\n\n `https://github.com/orchetect/swift-ascii` as the URL.\n\nTo add this package to a Swift package, add the dependency to your package and target in Package.swift:\n\n```swift\nlet package = Package(\n    dependencies: [\n        .package(url: \"https://github.com/orchetect/swift-ascii\", from: \"1.3.0\")\n    ],\n    targets: [\n        .target(\n            dependencies: [\n                .product(name: \"SwiftASCII\", package: \"swift-ascii\")\n            ]\n        )\n    ]\n)\n```\n\n## ASCIIString\n\n```swift\n// failable init\nASCIIString(exactly: \"An ASCII String.\") // succeeds\nASCIIString(exactly: \"Ãñ ÂŚÇÏÎ Strïńg.\") // nil\n\n// lossy string conversion making ASCII-compatible substitutions\nASCIIString(\"An ASCII String.\") // \"An ASCII String.\" (unchanged)\nASCIIString(\"Ãñ ÂŚÇÏÎ Strïńg.\") // \"An ASCII String.\" (substituted)\n\n// lossy string conversion through String literal type inference\nlet str: ASCIIString = \"Ãñ ÂŚÇÏÎ Strïńg.\"\nprint(str) // \"An ASCII String.\" (substituted)\n```\n\n```swift\nlet asciiString = ASCIIString(\"ÂŚÇÏÎ\")\n\n// returns typed as String\nasciiString.stringValue // \"ASCII\"\n\n// returns Data representation of string\nasciiString.rawData // Data([0x41, 0x53, 0x43, 0x49, 0x49])\n```\n\n### ASCIICharacter\n\n```swift\n// failable init\nASCIICharacter(exactly: \"A\") // succeeds\nASCIICharacter(exactly: \"Ω\") // nil\n\n// lossy string conversion making ASCII-compatible substitutions\nASCIICharacter(\"A\") // \"A\" (unchanged)\nASCIICharacter(\"Ã\") // \"A\" (substituted)\n\n// lossy character conversion through Character literal type inference\nlet char: ASCIICharacter = \"Ä\"\nprint(char) // \"A\" (substituted)\n\n// failable ASCII integer literal init\nASCIICharacter(65) // \"A\"\nASCIICharacter(300) // nil\n```\n\n```swift\nlet asciiString = ASCIICharacter(\"Ä\")\n\n// returns typed as Character\nasciiString.characterValue // Character(\"A\")\n\n// returns ASCII integer literal\nasciiString.asciiValue // 65\n\n// returns Data representation of character\nasciiString.rawData // Data([0x41])\n```\n\n## Author\n\nCoded by a
