What is utf8?

The utf8 npm package is a library for encoding and decoding UTF-8 in JavaScript. It's designed to handle Unicode strings and convert them to and from UTF-8 byte arrays. It's useful for environments where native JavaScript functions for handling UTF-8 are not available or are not performing well.

What are utf8's main functionalities?

Encoding to UTF-8

This feature allows you to encode a JavaScript string (which is typically UCS-2 or UTF-16) into a UTF-8 encoded string. This is useful when you need to ensure that your data is in UTF-8 format, for example, when interacting with APIs or databases that expect UTF-8 encoded text.

"utf8.encode('Hello World!');"

Decoding from UTF-8

This feature allows you to decode a UTF-8 encoded string back into a regular JavaScript string. This is useful when you receive UTF-8 encoded data and need to convert it to a format that can be easily manipulated in JavaScript.

"utf8.decode('48656c6c6f20576f726c6421');"
