# The converters/p5-Unicode-MapUTF8 port

## p5-Unicode-MapUTF8-1.11p2 – conversions to and from arbitrary character sets and UTF8

## Description

    Provides an adapter layer between core routines for converting to and
    from UTF8 and other encodings. In essence, a way to give multiple
    existing Unicode modules a single common interface so you don't have to
    know the underlying implementations to do simple UTF8 to-from other
    character set encoding conversions. As such, it wraps the
    Unicode::String, Unicode::Map8, Unicode::Map and Jcode modules in a
    standardized and simple API.

    This also provides general character set conversion operation based on
    UTF8 - it is possible to convert between any two compatible and
    supported character sets via a simple two step chaining of conversions.

    As with most things Perlish - if you give it a few big chunks of text to
    chew on instead of lots of small ones it will handle many more
    characters per second.

    By design, it can be easily extended to encompass any new charset
    encoding conversion modules that arrive on the scene.
