- ===================
-
- 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.
