JsChardet
=========

Port of python's charset (http://chardet.feedparser.org/).

How To Use It
-------------

    >// "àíàçã" in UTF-8
    >jschardet.detect("\xc3\xa0\xc3\xad\xc3\xa0\xc3\xa7\xc3\xa3")
    {encoding: "utf-8", confidence: 0.9690625}

    >// "次常用國字標準字體表" in Big5 
    >jschardet.detect("\xa6\xb8\xb1\x60\xa5\xce\xb0\xea\xa6\x72\xbc\xd0\xb7\xc7\xa6\x72\xc5\xe9\xaa\xed")

Technical Information
---------------------

I haven't been able to create tests to correctly detect:

* ISO-2022-CN
