. Simply run:
npm install text-encoding-utf-8
Or add it to your package.json
dependencies.
<script src="encoding.js"></script>
Basic Usage
var uint8array = TextEncoder(encoding).encode(string);
var string = TextDecoder(encoding).decode(uint8array);
Streaming Decode
var string = "", decoder = TextDecoder(encoding), buffer;
while (buffer = next_chunk()) {
string += decoder.decode(buffer, {stream:true});
}
string += decoder.decode(); // finish the stream
Only utf-8
and UTF-8
are supported.
Only utf-8
