apple-encodings

Bidirectional, emulator-grade conversion between classic Mac OS text encodings and Unicode — without linking ICU. The crate owns the canonical Apple tables, so it stays small, self-contained, and cross-compiles cleanly.

use apple_encodings::{AppleEncoding, MacRomanRevision};

let enc = AppleEncoding::default(); // Mac OS Roman, post-8.5
assert_eq!(enc.decode(b"Caf\x8e"), "Café");
assert_eq!(enc.encode("Café").unwrap(), b"Caf\x8e");

// Pick by the Finder Info `fdScript` byte:
let enc = AppleEncoding::from_script_code(apple_encodings::SCRIPT_ROMAN).unwrap();

// Revision matters for exactly one byte (0xDB):
let classic = AppleEncoding::MacRoman(MacRomanRevision::Classic);
assert_eq!(classic.decode(&[0xDB]), "¤"); // pre-8.5 currency sign, not €

Status

• Mac OS Roman — implemented, both pre- and post-8.5 revisions, decode + encode.
• Regional single-byte (Cyrillic, Greek, Turkish, …) and CJK double-byte (Japanese, Big5, GB, Korean) — planned, to be codegen'd from the Unicode Consortium VENDORS/APPLE/*.TXT tables. The double-byte tables will be feature-gated.

Scope

Text-encoding conversion only. Unicode normalization concerns (e.g. HFS+'s NFD-ish decomposition) are deliberately out of scope and left to consumers.

Consumers

Designed to be shared by ad-decoder/adx and fsinspect via path (and later git) dependency.
