The html-encoding-sniffer library, designed to accurately detect the character encoding of HTML documents from a byte stream, offers two closely related versions: 2.0.0 and 2.0.1. Both versions share the same core functionality and dependencies, relying on whatwg-encoding for encoding support and utilizing mocha and eslint for testing and linting respectively. They are licensed under the MIT license and maintained in the jsdom repository. Developed by Domenic Denicola, the library aims to provide reliable encoding detection for web applications and tools processing HTML content.
The key difference between the two versions lies in subtle refinements and optimizations. Version 2.0.1, released on February 23, 2020, boasts a slightly larger unpacked size of 11469 bytes compared to version 2.0.0's 11183 bytes, indicating minor code adjustments or additions. This suggests that version 2.0.1 likely includes bug fixes, performance enhancements, or improved accuracy in encoding detection compared to its predecessor, which was released on January 5, 2020. While the specific nature of these changes isn't explicitly detailed in the provided metadata, developers are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version (2.0.1) to benefit from the most up-to-date and refined encoding sniffing capabilities. For developers using this within the jsdom enviroment is recommended to keep the packages aligned with the jsdom releases.
