`TextEncoder` and `TextDecoder` #926

Open kvanbere opened 3 years ago

There is already good browser support for these, but Node.js does not have these at all, so testing code that uses them is an issue if you're using jest w/ babel or something like that.

Having a polyfill for these that just 'works out of the box' would be great. There's a very good polyfill at the page below.

It's not a part of ES, however, it's something that could be useful on each platform. I'll think about it.

Only UTF8 is required by spec now. The best implementation that we've found is the lightweight one linked on MDN.

I have created https://github.com/aleen42/core-web to try to eliminate different behaviours of Web APIs through different browsers and is there any suggestion or lists of collected polyfill? @zloirock

@aleen42 you could take a look at the project with the same name from @romainmenke.
