Create React App Officially Deprecated Amid React 19 Compatibility Issues
Create React App is officially deprecated due to React 19 issues and lack of maintenance—developers should switch to Vite or other modern alternatives.
The is-utf8 npm package is a simple utility that allows you to check if a given buffer is valid UTF-8 encoded text. It is useful when you need to validate the encoding of text data in Node.js applications.
Check if a buffer is UTF-8
This feature allows you to check if a buffer contains valid UTF-8 encoded text. The code sample demonstrates reading a file into a buffer and then using is-utf8 to check if the buffer is UTF-8.
const isUtf8 = require('is-utf8');
const fs = require('fs');
const buffer = fs.readFileSync('somefile.txt');
const isValidUtf8 = isUtf8(buffer);
console.log(isValidUtf8); // outputs true or false
This package provides a way to check if a buffer is valid UTF-8. It is similar to is-utf8 but is specifically designed for use with WebSockets where UTF-8 validation is a common requirement.
While not limited to UTF-8 validation, iconv-lite is a character encoding utility that can convert between various encodings. It can be used to check if text is UTF-8 by converting it to UTF-8 and comparing it to the original.
