## API
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### `wtf8.encode(string)`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Encodes any given JavaScript string (`string`) as WTF-8, and returns the WTF-8-encoded version of the string.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```js
|
|||
|
|
// U+00A9 COPYRIGHT SIGN; see http://codepoints.net/U+00A9
|
|||
|
|
wtf8.encode('\xA9');
|
|||
|
|
// → '\xC2\xA9'
|
|||
|
|
// U+10001 LINEAR B SYLLABLE B038 E; see http://codepoints.net/U+10001
|
|||
|
|
wtf8.encode('\uD800\uDC01');
|
|||
|
|
// → '\xF0\x90\x80\x81'
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### `wtf8.decode(byteString)`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Decodes any given WTF-8-encoded string (`byteString`) as WTF-8, and returns the WTF-8-decoded version of the string. It throws an error when malformed WTF-8 is detected.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```js
|
|||
|
|
wtf8.decode('\xC2\xA9');
|
|||
|
|
// → '\xA9'
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
wtf8.decode('\xF0\x90\x80\x81');
|
|||
|
|
// → '\uD800\uDC01'
|
|||
|
|
// → U+10001 LINEAR B SYLLABLE B038 E
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
