string_decoder.StringDecoder

  • buffer?: string | ArrayBufferView<ArrayBufferLike>
    ): string;

    Returns any remaining input stored in the internal buffer as a string. Bytes representing incomplete UTF-8 and UTF-16 characters will be replaced with substitution characters appropriate for the character encoding.

    If the buffer argument is provided, one final call to stringDecoder.write() is performed before returning the remaining input. After end() is called, the stringDecoder object can be reused for new input.

    @param buffer

    The bytes to decode.

  • buffer: string | ArrayBufferView<ArrayBufferLike>
    ): string;

    Returns a decoded string, ensuring that any incomplete multibyte characters at the end of the Buffer, or TypedArray, or DataView are omitted from the returned string and stored in an internal buffer for the next call to stringDecoder.write() or stringDecoder.end().

    @param buffer

    The bytes to decode.
