go-unidecode
A Go library for converting Unicode text to ASCII transliterations, inspired by python-unidecode.
What is go-unidecode?
go-unidecode is a Go library that converts Unicode text into ASCII transliterations. It transforms characters from various languages and scripts into reasonable ASCII representations, solving the problem of handling Unicode text in systems that only support ASCII. The library is directly inspired by the popular python-unidecode project.
Go developers working with international text who need to convert Unicode characters to ASCII for compatibility with legacy systems, search indexing, or URL slug generation.
Developers choose go-unidecode because it provides a reliable, battle-tested approach to Unicode transliteration based on the established python-unidecode algorithm, with a simple API and included CLI tool for convenience.
