+
+Lightweight pure Python package to guess whether a file is binary or text,
+using a heuristic similar to Perl's `pp_fttext` and its analysis by @eliben.
+
+* Free software: BSD license
+* Documentation: https://isbinary.readthedocs.io/
+
+Status
+------
+
+It works, and people are using this package in various places. But it doesn't cover all edge cases yet.
+
+The code could be improved. Pull requests welcome! As of now, it is based on these snippets, but that may change:
+
+* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/898669/how-can-i-detect-if-a-file-is-binary-non-text-in-python
+* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1446549/how-to-identify-binary-and-text-files-using-python
+* https://code.activestate.com/recipes/173220/
+* https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/10/19/perls-guess-if-file-is-text-or-binary-implemented-in-python/
+
+Features
+--------
+
+Has tests for these file types:
+
+* Text: .txt, .css, .json, .svg, .js, .lua, .pl, .rst
+* Binary: .png, .gif, .jpg, .tiff, .bmp, .DS_Store, .eot, .otf, .ttf, .woff, .rgb
+
+Has tests for numerous encodings.
+
+Why?
+----
+
+You may be thinking, "I can write this in 2 lines of code?!"
+
+It's actually not that easy. Here's a great article about how Perl's
+heuristic to guess file types works: https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/10/19/perls-guess-if-file-is-text-or-binary-implemented-in-python/
+
+And that's just where we started. Over time, we've found more edge cases and
+our heuristic has gotten more complex.
+
+Also, this package saves you from having to write and thoroughly test
+your code with all sorts of weird file types and encodings, cross-platform.
+
+History
+-------
+
+This is a long-term fork of `binaryornot <https://github.com/audreyfeldroy/binaryornot>`_. It was created in
+May 2022 primarily because it appeared that upstream had been abandoned. There were a few other smaller issues:
+
+1. Lack of type annotations.
+2. Lack of stricter modern code quality tools used in CI.
+3. Improved contributor experience by using Github Actions for CI.
+4. Possibility for optimisation with optional dependency on `cchardet`.
+5. Removal of Python 2 support, and explicit support for newer versions of Python 3.
+
+Credits
+-------
+
+* Audrey and Danny Roy Greenfeld, as the previous maintainers of this code.
+* Special thanks to Eli Bendersky (@eliben) for his writeup explaining the heuristic and his implementation, which this is largely based on.
+* Source code from the portion of Perl's `pp_fttext` that checks for textiness: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/blob/v5.23.1/pp_sys.c#L3527-L3587
