Works on Windows and in sandboxed environments like [Cloud9](http://c9.io).\n * Used in popular projects like [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/), [Nodemailer](http://www.nodemailer.com/), [Yeoman](http://yeoman.io/) and others.\n * Faster than [node-iconv](https://github.com/bnoordhuis/node-iconv) (see below for performance comparison).\n * Intuitive encode/decode API\n * Streaming support for Node v0.10+\n * Can extend Node.js primitives (buffers, streams) to support all iconv-lite encodings.\n * In-browser usage via [Browserify](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify) (~180k gzip compressed with Buffer shim included).\n * License: MIT.\n\n[![NPM Stats](https://nodei.co/npm/iconv-lite.png?downloads=true)](https://npmjs.org/packages/iconv-lite/)\n\n## Usage\n### Basic API\n```javascript\nvar iconv = require('iconv-lite');\n\n// Convert from an encoded buffer to js string.\nstr = iconv.decode(new Buffer([0x68, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f]), 'win1251');\n\n// Convert from js string to an encoded buffer.\nbuf = iconv.encode(\"Sample input string\", 'win1251');\n\n// Check if encoding is supported\niconv.encodingExists(\"us-ascii\")\n```\n\n### Streaming API (Node v0.10+)\n```javascript\n\n// Decode stream (from binary stream to js strings)\nhttp.createServer(function(req, res) {\n    var converterStream = iconv.decodeStream('win1251');\n    req.pipe(converterStream);\n\n    converterStream.on('data', function(str) {\n        console.log(str); // Do something with decoded strings, chunk-by-chunk.\n    });\n});\n\n// Convert encoding streaming example\nfs.createReadStream('file-in-win1251.txt')\n    .pipe(iconv.decodeStream('win1251'))\n    .pipe(iconv.encodeStream('ucs2'))\n    .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('file-in-ucs2.txt'));\n\n// Sugar: all encode/decode streams have .collect(cb) method to accumulate data.\nhttp.createServer(function(req, res) {\n    req.pipe(iconv.decodeStream('win1251')).collect(function(err, body) {\n        assert(typeof body == 'string');\n        console.log(body); // full request body string\n    });\n});\n```\n\n### Extend Node.js own encodings\n```javascript\n// After this call all Node basic primitives will understand iconv-lite encodings.\niconv.extendNodeEncodings();\n\n// Examples:\nbuf = new Buffer(str, 'win1251');\nbuf.write(str, 'gbk');\nstr = buf.toString('latin1');\nassert(Buffer.isEncoding('iso-8859-15'));\nBuffer.byteLength(str, 'us-ascii');\n\nhttp.createServer(function(req, res) {\n    req.setEncoding('big5');\n    req.collect(function(err, body) {\n        console.log(body);\n    });\n});\n\nfs.createReadStream(\"file.txt\", \"shift_jis\");\n\n// External modules are also supported (if they use Node primitives, which they probably do).\nrequest = require('request');\nrequest({\n    url: \"http://github.com/\", \n    encoding: \"cp932\"\n});\n\n// To remove extensions\niconv.undoExtendNodeEncodings();\n```\n\n## Supported encodings\n\n *  All node.js native encodings: utf8, ucs2 / utf16-le, ascii, binary, base64, hex.\n *  Additional unicode encodings: utf16, utf16-be, utf-7, utf-7-imap.\n *  All widespread singlebyte encodings: Windows 125x family, ISO-8859 family, \n    IBM/DOS codepages, Macintosh family, KOI8 family, all others supported by iconv library. \n    Aliases like 'latin1', 'us-ascii' also supported.\n *  All widespread multibyte encodings: CP932, CP936, CP949, CP950, GB2313, GBK, GB18030, Big5, Shift_JIS, EUC-JP.\n\nSee [all supported encodings on wiki](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/wiki/Supported-Encodings).\n\nMost singlebyte encodings are generated automatically from [node-iconv](https://github.com/bnoordhuis/node-iconv). Thank you Ben Noordhuis and libiconv authors!\n\nMultibyte encodings are generated from [Unicode.org mappings](http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/) and [WHATWG Encoding Standard mappings](http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/). Thank you, respective authors!\n\n\n## Encoding/decoding speed\n\nComparison with node-iconv module (1000x256kb, on MacBook Pro, Core i5/2.6 GHz, Node v0.10.26). \nNote: your results may vary, so please always check on your hardware.\n\n    operation             iconv@2.1.4   iconv-lite@0.4.0\n    ----------------------------------------------------------\n    encode('win1251')     ~130 Mb/s     ~380 Mb/s\n    decode('win1251')     ~127 Mb/s     ~210 Mb/s\n\n\n## Notes\n\nWhen decoding, be sure to supply a Buffer to decode() method, otherwise [bad things usually happen](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/wiki/Use-Buffers-when-decoding).  \nUntranslatable characters are set to � or ?. No transliteration is currently supported.\n\n## Testing\n\n```bash\n$ git clone git@github.com:ashtuchkin/iconv-lite.git\n$ cd iconv-lite\n$ npm install\n$ npm test\n    \n$ # To view performance:\n$ node test/performance.js\n```\n\n## Adoption\n[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm-dl/iconv-lite.png)](https://nodei.co/npm/iconv-lite/)\n\n",
