Description
Types and functions for dealing with encoding and decoding errors in Unicode text.
The standard functions for encoding and decoding text are strict, which is to say that they throw exceptions on invalid input. This is often unhelpful on real world input, so alternative functions exist that accept custom handlers for dealing with invalid inputs. These OnError handlers are normal Haskell functions. You can use one of the presupplied functions in this module, or you can write a custom handler of your own.
Error handling types
data UnicodeException Source
An exception type for representing Unicode encoding errors.
Constructors
| DecodeError String (Maybe Word8) | Could not decode a byte sequence because it was invalid under the given encoding, or ran out of input in mid-decode. |
| EncodeError String (Maybe Char) |
Deprecated: This constructor is never used, and will be removed. Tried to encode a character that could not be represented under the given encoding, or ran out of input in mid-encode. |

type OnError a b = String -> Maybe a -> Maybe b Source
Function type for handling a coding error. It is supplied with two inputs:
- A
Stringthat describes the error. - The input value that caused the error. If the error arose because the end of input was reached or could not be identified precisely, this value will be
Nothing.
If the handler returns a value wrapped with Just, that value will be used in the output as the replacement for the invalid input. If it returns Nothing, no value will be used in the output.
Should the handler need to abort processing, it should use error or throw an exception (preferably a UnicodeException). It may use the description provided to construct a more helpful error report.
type OnDecodeError = OnError Word8 Char Source
A handler for a decoding error.
type OnEncodeError = OnError Char Word8 Source
Deprecated: This exception is never used in practice, and will be removed.
A handler for an encoding error.
Useful error handling functions
lenientDecode :: OnDecodeError Source
Replace an invalid input byte with the Unicode replacement character U+FFFD.
strictDecode :: OnDecodeError Source
Throw a UnicodeException if decoding fails.
strictEncode :: OnEncodeError Source
Deprecated: This function always throws an exception, and will be removed.
Throw a UnicodeException if encoding fails.
Ignore an invalid input, substituting nothing in the output.
replace :: b -> OnError a b Source
Replace an invalid input with a valid output.
