Abstract

SSGO Binary Tree- A Small and Fast Unicode Basic Case Mapping Algorithm

Frank Yung-Fong Tang - Netscape Communications/AOL

Intended Audience: Software Engineer
Session Level: Advanced

This paper will examine how we implement the basic case mapping algorithm in Mozilla by using a SSGO Binary Tree. We compress both to-upper and to-lower Unicode basic case mapping information into a 1.2 K table, 22% memory usage of other approaches. We will first review several approaches done in the past. Then we will present the data structure of this algorithm with mapping logic. Finiall, a four steps performance optimization will be present and a demo by using Mozilla to view CSS and HTML will be shown.
