It is official, Boost.Locale on its way to formal review
Now it is official, Boost.Locale is scheduled for a formal review at April 7-16.
Boost.Locale is important part of CppCMS as was developed for its needs, however I had found that this library was so important and useful that I decided to "Boostify" and make it ready for a formal review for Boost.
What does it provides:
- Message formatting based on gettext dictionaries
- Localized numbers, dates, currency formatting and parsing (and more)
- Collation
- Text manipulations like case handing and Unicode normalization
- Text Boundary analysis
- Support of non-Gregorian calendars like Hebrew calendar.
- And much more
Most of these features are based on the state-of-the-art Unicode library ICU but it also allows to handle many of them using only standard operating system API significantly reducing its size and requirements of external components.
Most important is that is provides platform independent and uniform interface
for C++ localization and internationalization tightly integrated to C++ iostreams
and existing std::locale framework.
The most up-to-date version of the library and documentation would be released soon.
Comments
Nice, I hope it will be added into boost
