=head1 NAME
Audio::TagLib::ID3v1::StringHandler - A abstraction for the string to data
encoding in ID3v1 tags.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
ID3v1 should in theory always contain ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) data. In
practise it does not. Audio::TagLib by default only supports ISO-8859-1 data
in ID3v1 tags.
However by subclassing this class and reimplementing parse() and
render() and setting your reimplementation as the default with
ID3v1::Tag::setStringHandler() you can define how you would like these
transformations to be done.
B<WARNING> It is advisable B<NOT> to write non-ISO-8859-1 data to
ID3v1 tags. Please consider disabling the writing of ID3v1 tags in the
case that the data is ISO-8859-1.
see I<L<ID3v1::Tag::setStringHandler()|Audio::TagLib::ID3v1::Tag>>
=over
=item I<L<String|Audio::TagLib::String>
parse(L<ByteVector|Audio::TagLib::ByteVector> $data)>
Decode a string from $data. The default implementation assumes that
$data is an ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) character array.
=item I<ByteVector|Audio::TagLib::ByteVector> render(L<String|Audio::TagLib::String>
$s)>
Encode a ByteVector with the data from $s. The default implementation
assumes that $s is an ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) string.
B<WARNING> It is recommended that you B<NOT> override this method, but
instead do not write an ID3v1 tag in the case that the data is not
ISO-8859-1.
