About:
cconv is a command-line tool that converts text between Simplified and Traditional Chinese character sets. It leverages the iconv library to perform reliable encoding transformations, making it essential for handling cross-regional Chinese text data. The tool supports various encodings and provides a straightforward interface for batch processing.

Key Features:

Bidirectional conversion between Simplified and Traditional Chinese
Built on the robust iconv library for encoding support
Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
Support for multiple character encodings

Use Cases:

Converting legacy documents for cross-regional compatibility
Processing text files in automated build pipelines
Preparing content for different Chinese-speaking audiences

Alternatives:

opencc – OpenCC provides more sophisticated phrase-level conversion and is actively maintained, while cconv focuses on simpler character-level conversion using iconv.
iconv – The standard iconv utility handles encoding conversion but requires manual specification of encodings, whereas cconv simplifies this for Chinese-specific conversions.
