util.TextDecoder

An implementation of the WHATWG Encoding Standard TextDecoder API.

const decoder = new TextDecoder();
const u8arr = new Uint8Array([72, 101, 108, 108, 111]);
console.log(decoder.decode(u8arr)); // Hello

readonly encoding: string
The encoding supported by the TextDecoder instance.
readonly fatal: boolean
The value will be true if decoding errors result in a TypeError being thrown.
readonly ignoreBOM: boolean
The value will be true if the decoding result will include the byte order mark.
decode(
input?: null | ArrayBuffer | ArrayBufferView<ArrayBufferLike>,
options?: { stream: boolean }
): string;
Decodes the input and returns a string. If options.stream is true, any incomplete byte sequences occurring at the end of the input are buffered internally and emitted after the next call to textDecoder.decode().
If textDecoder.fatal is true, decoding errors that occur will result in a TypeError being thrown.
@param input
An ArrayBuffer, DataView, or TypedArray instance containing the encoded data.
