This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The TextEncoder()
constructor returns a newly created utf-8 TextEncoder
object.
encoder = new TextEncoder();
TextEncoder()
takes no parameters since Firefox 48 and Chrome 53Note: Prior to Firefox 48 and Chrome 53, an encoding type label was accepted as a paramer to the TextEncoder
object, since then both browers have removed support for any encoder type other than utf-8
, to match the spec. Any type label passed into the TextEncoder
constructor will now be ignored and a utf-8
TextEncoder
will be created.
TextEncoder()
throws no exceptions since Firefox 48 and Chrome 53Note: Prior to Firefox 48 and Chrome 53 an exception would be thrown for an unknown encoding type.
