PeterO.Text.NormalizerInput

## PeterO.Text.NormalizerInput

public sealed class NormalizerInput :
    PeterO.Text.ICharacterInput

A character input class that implements the Unicode normalization algorithm and contains methods and functionality to test and convert text strings for normalization. This is similar to the deprecated Normalizer class, except it implements the ICharacterInput interface.

The Unicode Standard includes characters, such as an acute accent, that can be combined with other characters to make new characters. For example, the letter E combines with an acute accent to make E-acute (É). In some cases, the combined form (E-acute) should be treated as equivalent to the uncombined form (E plus acute). For this reason, the standard defines four normalization forms that convert strings to a single equivalent form:

• NFD (Normalization Form D) decomposes combined forms to their constituent characters (E plus acute, for example), then reorders combining marks to a standardized order. This is called canonical decomposition.

• NFC does canonical decomposition, then combines certain constituent characters to their composites (E-acute, for example). This is called canonical composition.

• Two normalization forms, NFKC and NFKD, are similar to NFC and NFD, except they also “decompose” certain characters, such as ligatures, font or positional variants, and subscripts, whose visual distinction can matter in some contexts. This is called compatibility decomposition.

For more information, see Standard Annex 15 at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/ .

Thread safety: This class is mutable; its properties can be changed. None of its instance methods are designed to be thread safe. Therefore, access to objects from this class must be synchronized if multiple threads can access them at the same time.

### NormalizerInput Constructor

public NormalizerInput(
    PeterO.Text.ICharacterInput stream,
    PeterO.Text.Normalization form);

Initializes a new instance of the PeterO.Text.NormalizerInput class.

Parameters:

• stream: The parameter stream is an ICharacterInput object.

• form: Specifies the normalization form to use when normalizing the text.

### NormalizerInput Constructor

public NormalizerInput(
    string str);

Initializes a new instance of the PeterO.Text.NormalizerInput class using Normalization Form C.

Parameters:

• str: A string specifying the text to normalize.

### NormalizerInput Constructor

public NormalizerInput(
    string str,
    int index,
    int length,
    PeterO.Text.Normalization form);

Initializes a new instance of the PeterO.Text.NormalizerInput class. Uses a portion of a string as the input.

Parameters:

• str: The parameter str is a text string.

• index: An index starting at 0 showing where the desired portion of str begins.

• length: The number of elements in the desired portion of str (but not more than str ‘s length).

• form: Specifies the normalization form to use when normalizing the text.

Exceptions:
