utfdecode

I wanted to convert UTF-32 codes to UTF-16, often encoded in some JSON. This library helps do that. It rejexes for unicde strings and then converts them to UTF-16 using the standard formula. The code is small enough that you might just consider copy and pasting :)

For example, the following Go code:

jsonData := `{"text":"Cool! \u1F47D \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udc7d\ud83d\ude80"}`
fmt.Println(utfdecode.Decode(jsonData))

will print

{"text":"Cool! 👽 ❤️👽🚀"}

func Decode

func Decode(str string) string

Decode takes any string with escaped UTF-32 / UTF-16 and prints it out as un-escaped (decoded) UTF-16.

Example

jsonData := `{"text":"Cool! \u1F47D \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udc7d\ud83d\ude80"}`
fmt.Println(jsonData)
fmt.Println(Decode(jsonData))

Output:

{"text":"Cool! \u1F47D \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udc7d\ud83d\ude80"}
{"text":"Cool! 👽 ❤️👽🚀"}
