Last release: 5 months ago

Parses and serializes `.po` (gettext) file content in TypeScript, providing a small, zero-dependency parser. It’s useful for reading `.po` message entries like `msgid` and `msgstr`, including metadata, message context (`msgctxt`), and references and comments that start with `#.` or `#,`, then converting it to or from structured data.

Recent updates

  • v2.1.1

    5 months ago

    The provided release notes for v2.1.1 only mention a publishing retry. However, the actual code diff includes functional changes to how PO reference comments ("#:") are parsed and serialized, adding support for reference line numbers.

  • v2.0.0

    5 months ago

    v2.0.0 primarily refactors the public API types, replacing the old `Message` shape with a PO-spec-aligned `Entry` type. The runtime parser/serializer was updated to use `msgctxt`, `msgid`, and `msgstr` directly, and it now supports `#.` extracted comments as a list rather than a single description.

    BreakingFeatures

  • v1.0.2

    6 months ago

    v1.0.2 introduces special-character handling for PO parsing and serialization, specifically by adding escaping and unescaping logic. The parser now converts escaped sequences inside quoted fields into real characters, and the serializer emits escaped sequences for special characters.

  • v1.0.1

    6 months ago

    Release v1.0.1 is presented as a CI publishing fix. The code diff shows updates to the semantic-release pipeline, adding NPM publishing support and related configuration changes, along with minor semantic-release GitHub plugin option adjustments.
