Usage in Deno

TextDecoder.prototype.decode(input?: ArrayBufferView
 | ArrayBuffer
 | null,
options?: { stream?: boolean | undefined;  },
): string

Decodes the `input` and returns a string. If `options.stream` is `true`, any incomplete byte sequences occurring at the end of the `input` are buffered internally and emitted after the next call to `textDecoder.decode()`. If `textDecoder.fatal` is `true`, decoding errors that occur will result in a `TypeError` being thrown.

Parameters

input: ArrayBufferView
 | ArrayBuffer
 | null

An `ArrayBuffer`, `DataView`, or `TypedArray` instance containing the encoded data.

optional



options: { stream?: boolean | undefined;  }
