TextDecoder.prototype.encoding
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The TextDecoder.prototype.encoding
read-only property
returns a DOMString
containing the name of the decoding algorithm used by
the specific decoder.
It can be one of the following values:
- The recommended encoding for the Web:
'utf-8'
. -
The legacy single-byte encodings:
'ibm866'
,'iso-8859-2'
,'iso-8859-3'
,'iso-8859-4'
,'iso-8859-5'
,'iso-8859-6'
,'iso-8859-7'
,'iso-8859-8''
,'iso-8859-8i'
,'iso-8859-10'
,'iso-8859-13'
,'iso-8859-14'
,'iso-8859-15'
,'iso-8859-16'
,'koi8-r'
,'koi8-u'
,'macintosh'
,'windows-874'
,'windows-1250'
,'windows-1251'
,'windows-1252'
,'windows-1253'
,'windows-1254'
,'windows-1255'
,'windows-1256'
,'windows-1257'
,'windows-1258'
, or'x-mac-cyrillic'
. -
The legacy multi-byte Chinese (simplified) encodings:
'gbk'
,'gb18030'
, and'hz-gb-2312'
. -
The legacy multi-byte Chinese (traditional) encoding:
'big5'
. -
The legacy multi-byte Japanese encodings:
'euc-jp'
,'iso-2022-jp'
, and'shift-jis'
. -
The legacy multi-byte Korean encodings:
'euc-kr'
, and'iso-2022-kr'
. -
The legacy miscellaneous encodings:
'utf-16be'
,'utf-16le'
, and'x-user-defined'
. -
A special encoding,
'replacement'
, which only emits an error and anEOF
code point. It is used to prevent attacks that mismatch encodings between the client and server. It can happen withISO-2022-CN
andISO-2022-CN-ext
.
