encoding::decode

Parameters

↳ var encoding: string = "utf-8"

Inputs

⇥ data: Stream<byte>

Outputs

↦ text: Stream<string>

Decodes stream of bytes into string.

The incoming stream of bytes is decoded using the specified encoding. If some characters cannot be decoded for some reason (i.e. invalid according to encoding), it is replaced by the U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (�).

The supported encodings and possible values for encoding are defined in the Encoding Standard. If encoding is not recognized, UTF-8 is assumed instead.
