utf-8-validate
WebSocket connections require extensive UTF-8 validation in order to conform to
the specification. This was unfortunately not possible in JavaScript, hence the
need for a binary addon.
As the module consists of binary components, it should be used as
optionalDependency
so when installation fails, it doesn't halt the
installation of your module. There are fallback files available in this
repository. See fallback.js
for the suggest fallback implementation if
installation fails.
Installation
npm install utf-8-validate
API
In all examples we assume that you've already required the mdoule as
follows:
'use strict';
var validation = require('utf-8-validate').Validation;
The module exposes 1 function:
isValidUTF8
Validate if the passed in buffer contains valid UTF-8 chars.
validation.isValidUTF8(buffer);
