bistring

========

|Build status| |Documentation status|

The bistring library provides non-destructive versions of common string processing operations like normalization, case folding, and find/replace.

Each bistring remembers the original string, and how its substrings map to substrings of the modified version.

For example:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> from bistring import bistr

    >>> s = bistr('𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝖖𝖚𝖎𝖈𝖐, 𝖇𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖓 🦊 𝖏𝖚𝖒𝖕𝖘 𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖑𝖆𝖟𝖞 🐶')

    >>> s = s.normalize('NFKD')     # Unicode normalization

    >>> s = s.casefold()            # Case-insensitivity

    >>> s = s.replace('🦊', 'fox')  # Replace emoji with text

    >>> s = s.replace('🐶', 'dog')

    >>> s = s.sub(r'[^\w\s]+', '')  # Strip everything but letters and spaces

    >>> s = s[:19]                  # Extract a substring

    >>> s.modified                  # The modified substring, after changes

    'the quick brown fox'

    >>> s.original                  # The original substring, before changes

    '𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝖖𝖚𝖎𝖈𝖐, 𝖇𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖓 🦊'

Languages

---------

|PyPI version| |npm version|

bistring is available in multiple languages, currently `Python `_ and `JavaScript/TypeScript `_.

Ports to other languages are planned for the near future.

The code is structured similarly in each language to make it easy to share algorithms, tests, and fixes between them.

The main differences come from trying to mirror the language's built-in string API.

If you want to contribute a bug fix or a new feature, feel free to implement it in any one of the supported languages, and we'll try to port it to the rest of them.
