Version 3.0.0 Details

HTML Encoding Sniffer, a vital tool for web developers needing to reliably determine the character encoding of HTML documents, has seen significant evolution between versions 2.0.1 and 3.0.0. Both versions share the core functionality of sniffing the encoding from an HTML byte stream, crucial for accurate text processing and rendering in web applications.

A key difference lies in the underlying whatwg-encoding dependency. Version 2.0.1 relies on whatwg-encoding version ^1.0.5, while version 3.0.0 updates this dependency to ^2.0.0. This update likely incorporates improvements and bug fixes from the whatwg-encoding library, potentially enhancing encoding detection accuracy and support for newer or less common character encodings. Developers should consider this a crucial upgrade for better encoding handling.

Furthermore, the development environment has been modernized from version 2 to version 3. The jump from mocha ^7.0.0 to ^9.1.1 and eslint ^6.8.0 to ^7.32.0, alongside the addition of @domenic/eslint-config ^1.4.0, suggests a commitment to more robust testing and adherence to coding standards. While these changes are primarily internal, developers benefiting from greater code maintainability and fewer bugs. The unpacked size has slightly increased from 11469 to 11679 bytes, likely due to the updated dependencies and tooling, but insignificantly so.
