TextEncoder() returns a newly constructed TextEncoder that generates a byte stream with UTF-8 encoding. TextEncoder takes no parameters and throws no exceptions.

​​ Constructor 


let encoder = new TextEncoder();

​​ Properties

  • encoder.encoding DOMString read-only
    • The name of the encoder as a string describing the method the TextEncoder uses (always utf-8).

​​ Properties

  • decoder.encoding DOMString read-only

    • The name of the decoder that describes the method the TextDecoder uses.

  • decoder.fatal boolean read-only
