Biber is a bibliography information processing program and works in conjunction with the LaTeX package biblatex and offers full Unicode support.^[1]

Information

Biber is a replacement for the BibTeX software often used to generate a bibliography in LaTeX. Biber offers a large superset of BibTeX functionality, and offers additionally full Unicode support which is hard to achieve with BibTeX. Given the same data file as input, biber should output a functionally identical .bbl file as BibTeX.^[1]

Biber is written in Perl and includes the following features: full Unicode support, user-definable mapping and suppression of fields, multiple bibliography lists, no memory limitations, and extensibility.^[1] However, some LaTeX packages have an explicit dependence on BibTeX itself and will not work with biber, examples are natbib.
