Validate UTF8

What is UTF-8 Validation?

UTF-8 validation checks whether text or data is properly encoded in UTF-8 format. UTF-8 is a variable-width character encoding that can represent any Unicode character. Validating UTF-8 ensures data can be correctly processed, displayed, and transmitted without encoding errors.

Why Validate UTF-8?

UTF-8 validation is essential for data quality:

• Encoding Verification: Verify text is properly UTF-8 encoded
• Error Detection: Identify encoding errors and invalid byte sequences
• Data Quality: Ensure data quality and integrity
• Debugging: Debug encoding issues in applications
• Compatibility: Ensure UTF-8 compatibility across systems

Common Use Cases

Encoding Validation

Validate text encoding before processing. Ensure text is properly UTF-8 encoded to avoid display or processing errors.

Data Quality Checks

Check data quality by validating UTF-8 encoding. Identify corrupted or improperly encoded data.

Application Debugging

Debug encoding issues in applications. Identify UTF-8 encoding problems causing display or processing errors.

API Data Validation

Validate UTF-8 encoding in API data. Ensure API responses are properly encoded.

Database Validation

Validate UTF-8 encoding in database data. Ensure stored text is properly encoded.

UTF-8 Encoding Explained

UTF-8 encoding:

• Variable Width: Uses 1-4 bytes per character
• ASCII Compatible: First 128 characters match ASCII
• Unicode Support: Supports all Unicode characters
• Self-Synchronizing: Byte sequences are self-synchronizing

UTF-8 Validation Process

Our validator:

1. Byte Analysis: Analyzes byte sequences
2. Sequence Validation: Validates UTF-8 byte sequences
3. Error Detection: Identifies invalid byte sequences
4. Character Validation: Validates character encoding
5. Report Generation: Generates validation report
