Description

Detect likely text encodings and language hints in Python applications without using chardet. It helps network clients and file importers choose a sensible decoding path when metadata is missing or unreliable.

This is a dependency for other software and has no separate interface. Encoding detection can be wrong, so user-facing applications should preserve original data when possible and give people a way to fix incorrectly decoded text.
