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

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