TextDecoderStream: encoding property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2022.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The encoding read-only property of the TextDecoderStream interface returns a string containing the name of the encoding algorithm used by the specific decoder.
The encoding is set by the constructor label parameter, and defaults to utf-8.
Value
A string containing the lower-cased ASCII name of the encoding format.
The allowed values are the same as those listed in TextDecoder.encoding (the labels in Encoding API Encodings).
Examples
Returning the value of encoding from a TextDecoderStream.
js
stream = new TextDecoderStream();
console.log(stream.encoding); // returns the default "utf-8"
