charset encoding/decoding library for Common Lisp
Babel is a charset encoding/decoding library, not unlike GNU libiconv, but
completely written in Common Lisp.
.
It strives to achieve decent performance. To that effect, it uses OpenMCL's
approach of calculating the destination buffer size in advance. Most of the
encoding/decoding algorithms have been adapted from OpenMCL's source.
.
Another important goal is reusability. Similarly to SBCL, it defines an
interface wherein the algorithms can be reused between a variety of data types
so long we're dealing with conversions between octets and unicode code points.
.
Babel comes with converters between strings and (unsigned-byte 8) vectors but
can be easily extended to deal with, e.g., strings and foreign memory, vectors
and Closure's runes, etc...
