| 2 =================== | |

| 4 This is a Python implementation of the `WHATWG Encoding standard | |
| 5 <http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/>`_. | |

| 14 In order to be compatible with legacy web content | |
| 15 when interpreting something like ``Content-Type: text/html; charset=latin1``, | |
| 16 tools need to use a particular set of aliases for encoding labels | |
| 17 as well as some overriding rules. | |
| 18 For example, ``US-ASCII`` and ``iso-8859-1`` on the web are actually | |
| 19 aliases for ``windows-1252``, and an UTF-8 or UTF-16 BOM takes precedence | |
| 20 over any other encoding declaration. | |
| 21 The Encoding standard defines all such details so that implementations do | |
| 22 not have to reverse-engineer each other. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 This module has encoding labels and BOM detection, | |
| 25 but the actual implementation for encoders and decoders is Python’s. | |
