Encoding.compatible?(obj1, obj2) â enc or nil
Class Public methods
Checks the compatibility of two objects.
If the objects are both strings they are compatible when they are concatenatable. The encoding of the concatenated string will be returned if they are compatible, nil if they are not.
Encoding.compatible?("\xa1".force_encoding("iso-8859-1"), "b") #=> #<Encoding:ISO-8859-1> Encoding.compatible?( "\xa1".force_encoding("iso-8859-1"), "\xa1\xa1".force_encoding("euc-jp")) #=> nil
If the objects are non-strings their encodings are compatible when they have an encoding and:
-
Either encoding is US-ASCII compatible
-
One of the encodings is a 7-bit encoding
