This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes.
The TextDecoder
interface represents a decoder for a specific method, that is a specific character encoding, like utf-8
, iso-8859-2
, koi8
, cp1261
, gbk
, ... A decoder takes a stream of bytes as input and emits a stream of code points. For a more scalable, non-native library, see StringView
– a C-like representation of strings based on typed arrays.
Properties
The TextDecoder
interface doesn't inherit any properties.
TextDecoder.encoding
Read only- Is a
DOMString
containing the name of the decoder, that is a string describing the method theTextDecoder
will use. TextDecoder.fatal
Read only- Is a
Boolean
indicating whether the error mode is fatal. TextDecoder.ignoreBOM
Read only- Is a
Boolean
indicating whether the byte order marker is ignored.
Constructor
TextDecoder()
- Returns a newly constructed
TextDecoder
that will generate a code point stream with the decoding method specified in parameters.
Methods
The TextDecoder
interface doesn't inherit any method.
TextDecoder.decode()
- Returns a
DOMString
containing the text decoded with the method of the specificTextDecoder
object.
