WanaKana: Japanese Text Conversion and Input

WanaKana is a JavaScript utility library designed for detecting and transliterating Japanese text between Hiragana, Katakana, Romaji, and handling Kanji. It provides a comprehensive set of functions for checking the type of script (e.g., `isJapanese`, `isKana`, `isRomaji`), converting between them (e.g., `toKana`, `toHiragana`, `toRomaji`), and includes DOM helpers for real-time input conversion (`bind`, `unbind`). The library is currently at version 5.3.1 and maintains an active release cadence, with minor updates and bug fixes occurring every few months. Its key differentiators include robust input method editor (IME) simulation capabilities for HTML text fields, comprehensive handling of various kana and romaji mapping rules, and support for custom mappings. WanaKana ships with TypeScript definitions, making it highly compatible with modern TypeScript-driven web development workflows.
