The TextDecoder.encoding read-only property returns a DOMString containing the name of the decoding algorithm used by the specific decoder.
It can be one of the following values:
- The recommended encoding for the Web:
'utf-8'. - The legacy single-byte encodings:
'ibm866','iso-8859-2','iso-8859-3','iso-8859-4','iso-8859-5','iso-8859-6','iso-8859-7','iso-8859-8'','iso-8859-8i','iso-8859-10','iso-8859-13','iso-8859-14','iso-8859-15','iso-8859-16','koi8-r','koi8-u','macintosh','windows-874','windows-1250','windows-1251','windows-1252','windows-1253','windows-1254','windows-1255','windows-1256','windows-1257','windows-1258', or'x-mac-cyrillic'. - The legacy multi-byte Chinese (simplified) encodings:
'gbk','gb18030', and'hz-gb-2312'. - The legacy multi-byte Chinese (traditional) encoding:
'big5'. - The legacy multi-byte Japanese encodings:
'euc-jp','iso-2022-jp', and'shift-jis'. - The legacy multi-byte Korean encodings:
'euc-kr', and'iso-2022-kr'. - The legacy miscellaneous encodings:
'utf-16be','utf-16le', and'x-user-defined'. - A special encoding,
'replacement', which only emits an error and anEOFcode point. It is used to prevent attacks that mismatch encodings between the client and server. It can happen withISO-2022-CNandISO-2022-CN-ext.
