29 This is a Python implementation of the `WHATWG Encoding standard
30 <http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/>`_.

39 In order to be compatible with legacy web content
40 when interpreting something like ``Content-Type: text/html; charset=latin1``,
41 tools need to use a particular set of aliases for encoding labels
42 as well as some overriding rules.
43 For example, ``US-ASCII`` and ``iso-8859-1`` on the web are actually
44 aliases for ``windows-1252``, and an UTF-8 or UTF-16 BOM takes precedence
45 over any other encoding declaration.
46 The Encoding standard defines all such details so that implementations do
47 not have to reverse-engineer each other.
48
49 This module has encoding labels and BOM detection,
50 but the actual implementation for encoders and decoders is Python’s.
