Struct utf8_ranges::Utf8Sequences

pub struct Utf8Sequences { /* fields omitted */ }

An iterator over ranges of matching UTF-8 byte sequences.

The iteration represents an alternation of comprehensive byte sequences that match precisely the set of UTF-8 encoded scalar values.

A byte sequence corresponds to one of the scalar values in the range given if and only if it completely matches exactly one of the sequences of byte ranges produced by this iterator.

Each sequence of byte ranges matches a unique set of bytes. That is, no two sequences will match the same bytes.

Example

This shows how to match an arbitrary byte sequence against a range of scalar values.

use utf8_ranges::{Utf8Sequences, Utf8Sequence};

fn matches(seqs: &[Utf8Sequence], bytes: &[u8]) -> bool {
    for range in seqs {
        if range.matches(bytes) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    false
}

// Test the basic multilingual plane.
let seqs: Vec<_> = Utf8Sequences::new('\u{0}', '\u{FFFF}').collect();

// UTF-8 encoding of 'a'.
assert!(matches(&seqs, &[0x61]));
// UTF-8 encoding of '☃' (`\u{2603}`).
assert!(matches(&seqs, &[0xE2, 0x98, 0x83]));
// UTF-8 encoding of `\u{10348}` (outside the BMP).
assert!(!matches(&seqs, &[0xF0, 0x90, 0x8D, 0x88]));
// Tries to match against a UTF-8 encoding of a surrogate codepoint,
// which is invalid UTF-8, and therefore fails, despite the fact that
// the corresponding codepoint (0xD800) falls in the range given.
assert!(!matches(&seqs, &[0xED, 0xA0, 0x80]));
// And fails against plain old invalid UTF-8.
assert!(!matches(&seqs, &[0xFF, 0xFF]));

If this example seems circuitous, that's because it is! It's meant to be illustrative. In practice, you could just try to decode your byte sequence and compare it with the scalar value range directly. However, this is not always possible (for example, in a byte based automaton).
