newline-converter is a simple library used for converting the newline characters in strings between Windows \r\n and Unix \n style. It mainly serves as a backend for Rust Newline converter CLI tool.
This lib has two significant advantages over using string.replace:
* Looks for correct linebreaks on source platform. For example, lone \r characters won't get replaced by dos2unix call:
rust
use newline_converter::dos2unix;
assert_eq!(
dos2unix("\nfoo\rbar\r\n"),
"\nfoo\rbar\n"
);
* Being significantly faster (about two times in normal circumstances, and about twenty times faster when the input is already in correct format).
