Struct icu::timezone::TimeZoneIdMapper

source ·
pub struct TimeZoneIdMapper { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A mapper between IANA time zone identifiers and BCP-47 time zone identifiers.

This mapper supports two-way mapping, but it is optimized for the case of IANA to BCP-47. It also supports normalizing and canonicalizing the IANA strings.

There are approximately 600 IANA identifiers and 450 BCP-47 identifiers.

BCP-47 time zone identifiers are 8 ASCII characters or less and currently average 5.1 characters long. Current IANA time zone identifiers are less than 40 ASCII characters and average 14.2 characters long.

These lists grow very slowly; in a typical year, 2-3 new identifiers are added.

§Normalization vs Canonicalization

Multiple IANA time zone identifiers can refer to the same BCP-47 time zone. For example, the following three IANA identifiers all map to "usind":

  • “America/Fort_Wayne”
  • “America/Indiana/Indianapolis”
  • “America/Indianapolis”
  • “US/East-Indiana”

There is only one canonical identifier, which is “America/Indiana/Indianapolis”. The canonicalization operation returns the canonical identifier. You should canonicalize if you need to compare time zones for equality. Note that the canonical identifier can change over time. For example, the identifier “Europe/Kiev” was renamed to the newly-added identifier “Europe/Kyiv” in 2022.

The normalization operation, on the other hand, keeps the input identifier but normalizes the casing. For example, “AMERICA/FORT_WAYNE” normalizes to “America/Fort_Wayne”. Normalization is a data-driven operation because there are no algorithmic casing rules that work for all IANA time zone identifiers.

Normalization is a cheap operation, but canonicalization might be expensive, since it might require searching over all IANA IDs to find the canonicalization. If you need canonicalization that is reliably fast, use TimeZoneIdMapperWithFastCanonicalization.

§Examples

use icu::timezone::TimeZoneIdMapper;
use icu::timezone::TimeZoneBcp47Id;
use tinystr::tinystr;

let mapper = TimeZoneIdMapper::new();

// The IANA zone "Australia/Melbourne" is the BCP-47 zone "aumel":
assert_eq!(
    mapper.iana_to_bcp47("Australia/Melbourne"),
    TimeZoneBcp47Id(tinystr!(8, "aumel"))
);

// Lookup is ASCII-case-insensitive:
assert_eq!(
    mapper.iana_to_bcp47("australia/melbourne"),
    TimeZoneBcp47Id(tinystr!(8, "aumel"))
);

// The IANA zone "Australia/Victoria" is an alias:
assert_eq!(
    mapper.iana_to_bcp47("Australia/Victoria"),
    TimeZoneBcp47Id(tinystr!(8, "aumel"))
);

// The IANA zone "Australia/Boing_Boing" does not exist
// (maybe not *yet*), so it produces the special unknown
// timezone in order for this operation to be infallible:
assert_eq!(
    mapper.iana_to_bcp47("Australia/Boing_Boing"),
    TimeZoneBcp47Id::unknown()
);

// We can recover the canonical identifier from the mapper:
assert_eq!(
    mapper.canonicalize_iana("Australia/Victoria").unwrap().0,
    "Australia/Melbourne"
);

Implementations§

source

pub fn try_new_with_buffer_provider( provider: &(impl BufferProvider + ?Sized), ) -> Result<TimeZoneIdMapper, DataError>

A version of [Self :: new] that uses custom data provided by a BufferProvider.

Enabled with the serde feature.

⚠️ The bounds on provider may change over time, including in SemVer minor releases.
source

pub fn as_borrowed(&self) -> TimeZoneIdMapperBorrowed<'_>

Returns a borrowed version of the mapper that can be queried.

This avoids a small potential indirection cost when querying the mapper.
