Recommend `unicode` over `xmerl` function #15

Closed myronmarston closed 8 years ago

myronmarston commented 8 years ago

In publicsuffix-elixir, I used the code from the Usage section in your README. A user reported problems with xmerl and has opened seomoz/publicsuffix-elixir#23 to change our code to use unicode.characters_to_list/1 instead of xmerl_ucs.from_utf8/1.

However, I have very little familiarity with the erlang ecosystem (since I use Elixir as my main language, not Erlang) and even less familiarity with these libraries. Is there any reason I should not switch to using the unicode function? Does it make sense for your README to recommend it as well?

just fro clarification even internally idna is not using wmerl, so the changes make totally sense :)
