Uint8Array to string in JavaScript

[gnipbao]

Little strings

少量数据使用超出异常

/**
 * little arrays (>=100k characters), otherwise you'll get exceptions as RangeError : Maximum call 
 * stack size exceeded or Out of stack space.
 * @returns {string}
 */
function uint8arrayToStringMethod(myUint8Arr){
   return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, myUint8Arr);
}

Browser implementation

浏览器环境使用TextEncoder 和 TextDecoder 原生方法实现，注意兼容性。

/**
 * Convert an Uint8Array into a string.
 *
 * @returns {String}
 */
function Decodeuint8arr(uint8array){
    return new TextDecoder("utf-8").decode(uint8array);
}

/**
 * Convert a string into a Uint8Array.
 *
 * @returns {Uint8Array}
 */
function Encodeuint8arr(myString){
    return new TextEncoder("utf-8").encode(myString);
}

Crossplatform method

跨平台依赖性低运行良好

Large blocks

大量数据异步情况

/**
 * Converts an array buffer to a string
 *
 * @param {Uin8} uint8arr | The buffer to convert
 * @param {Function} callback | The function to call when conversion is complete
 */
function largeuint8ArrToString(uint8arr, callback) {
    var bb = new Blob([uint8arr]);
    var f = new FileReader();
    f.onload = function(e) {
        callback(e.target.result);
    };
    
    f.readAsText(bb);
}

// Usage example
// "Hello" in Uint8Array format
var myuint8Arr = new Uint8Array([72, 101, 108, 108, 111, 32, 33]);

largeuint8ArrToString(myuint8Arr,function(text){
    // Hello
    console.log(text);
});
