About:
utf8proc is a lightweight C library that provides robust Unicode support for UTF-8 strings. It handles normalization, case folding, and grapheme segmentation without external dependencies. This makes it ideal for embedding in projects requiring reliable text processing.
Key Features:
  • Pure C library with no dependencies
  • Unicode normalization and case folding
  • UTF-8 string manipulation and validation
  • Grapheme cluster breaking support
Use Cases:
  • Text normalization in C/C++ applications
  • Unicode-aware string searching and sorting
  • Sanitizing user input for web applications
Alternatives:
  • libicu – More comprehensive but significantly larger and more complex
  • libunistring – Focuses on string functions rather than Unicode properties
