StringDecoder
The node:string_decoder
is a legacy utility module that predates the WHATWG standard TextEncoder and TextDecoder API. In most cases, you should use TextEncoder
and TextDecoder
instead. StringDecoder
is available in the Workers runtime primarily for compatibility with existing npm packages that rely on it. StringDecoder
can be accessed using:
const { StringDecoder } = require('node:string_decoder'); const decoder = new StringDecoder('utf8');
const cent = Buffer.from([0xC2, 0xA2]);console.log(decoder.write(cent));
const euro = Buffer.from([0xE2, 0x82, 0xAC]);console.log(decoder.write(euro));
Refer to the Node.js documentation for string_decoder
for more information.
