# `@borewit/text-codec`

A **lightweight text encoding/decoding polyfill** for JavaScript engines (like [Hermes](https://hermesengine.dev/)) which lack support for certain `TextEncoder` / `TextDecoder` encoding types.

This module implements manual encoding and decoding for the most commonly used encodings, without pulling in large dependencies or experimental features.

## ✨ Features

### Supported encodings:
- `utf-8` / `utf8`
- `utf-16le`
- `ascii`
- `latin1` / `iso-8859-1`
- `windows-1252`

---

## 📦 Installation

```sh
npm install @borewit/text-codec
```


# 📚 API Documentation

## `textDecode(bytes, encoding): string`

Decodes binary data into a JavaScript string using the specified encoding.

**Parameters**
- `bytes` (`Uint8Array`) — The binary data to decode.
- `encoding` (`SupportedEncoding`, optional) — Encoding type. Defaults to `"utf-8"`.  

**Returns**
- `string` — The decoded text.

**Example**
```js
import { textDecode } from "@borewit/text-encode";

const bytes = new Uint8Array([0x48, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f]);
const text = textDecode(bytes, "ascii");
console.log(text); // "Hello"
```
Encodes a JavaScript string into binary form using the specified encoding.

## `textEncode(input, encoding): Uint8Array`

**Parameters**

- `input` (`string`) — The string to encode.
- `encoding` (`SupportedEncoding`, optional) — Encoding type. Defaults to `"utf-8"`.

**Returns**

`Uint8Array` — The encoded binary data.

Example:
```js
import { textEncode } from "@borewit/text-encode";

const bytes = textEncode("Hello", "utf-16le");
console.log(bytes); // Uint8Array([...])
```
