var decoder = new TextDecoder ();
var string = decoder.decode (arrayBuffer);

与这里的解决方案不同，我需要从UTF-8数据转换到UTF-8数据。为此，我使用(un)escape/(en)decodeURIComponent技巧编写了以下两个函数。它们非常浪费内存，分配的长度是编码后utf8-string的9倍，尽管这些应该由gc恢复。只是不要在100mb的文本中使用它们。

function utf8AbFromStr(str) {
    var strUtf8 = unescape(encodeURIComponent(str));
    var ab = new Uint8Array(strUtf8.length);
    for (var i = 0; i < strUtf8.length; i++) {
        ab[i] = strUtf8.charCodeAt(i);
    }
    return ab;
}

function strFromUtf8Ab(ab) {
    return decodeURIComponent(escape(String.fromCharCode.apply(null, ab)));
}

检查它是否工作:

strFromUtf8Ab(utf8AbFromStr('latinкирилицаαβγδεζηあいうえお'))
-> "latinкирилицаαβγδεζηあいうえお"

Blob比String.fromCharCode(null,array)慢得多;

但如果数组缓冲区太大，就会失败。我发现的最佳解决方案是使用String.fromCharCode(null，数组);并将其拆分为不会破坏堆栈的操作，但每次比单个char更快。

大数组缓冲区的最佳解决方案是:

function arrayBufferToString(buffer){

    var bufView = new Uint16Array(buffer);
    var length = bufView.length;
    var result = '';
    var addition = Math.pow(2,16)-1;

    for(var i = 0;i<length;i+=addition){

        if(i + addition > length){
            addition = length - i;
        }
        result += String.fromCharCode.apply(null, bufView.subarray(i,i+addition));
    }

    return result;

}

我发现这比使用blob快20倍。它也适用于超过100mb的大字符串。

atob()返回的“本机”二进制字符串是一个每个字符1字节的数组。

所以我们不应该在一个字符中存储2个字节。

var arrayBufferToString = function(buffer) {
  return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new Uint8Array(buffer));
}

var stringToArrayBuffer = function(str) {
  return (new Uint8Array([].map.call(str,function(x){return x.charCodeAt(0)}))).buffer;
}

尽管Dennis和gengkev使用Blob/FileReader的解决方案有效，但我不建议采用这种方法。这是一种解决简单问题的异步方法，比直接解决方案要慢得多。我在html5rocks上发布了一个更简单(更快)的解决方案: http://updates.html5rocks.com/2012/06/How-to-convert-ArrayBuffer-to-and-from-String

解决方案是:

function ab2str(buf) {
  return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new Uint16Array(buf));
}

function str2ab(str) {
  var buf = new ArrayBuffer(str.length*2); // 2 bytes for each char
  var bufView = new Uint16Array(buf);
  for (var i=0, strLen=str.length; i<strLen; i++) {
    bufView[i] = str.charCodeAt(i);
  }
  return buf;
}

Encoding API帮助解决字符串转换问题。请查看Jeff Posnik在Html5Rocks.com上对上述原创文章的回复。

摘录:

Encoding API使原始字节和原生JavaScript字符串之间的转换变得简单，而不考虑需要使用的许多标准编码中的哪一种。

<pre id="results"></pre>

<script>
  if ('TextDecoder' in window) {
    // The local files to be fetched, mapped to the encoding that they're using.
    var filesToEncoding = {
      'utf8.bin': 'utf-8',
      'utf16le.bin': 'utf-16le',
      'macintosh.bin': 'macintosh'
    };

    Object.keys(filesToEncoding).forEach(function(file) {
      fetchAndDecode(file, filesToEncoding[file]);
    });
  } else {
    document.querySelector('#results').textContent = 'Your browser does not support the Encoding API.'
  }

  // Use XHR to fetch `file` and interpret its contents as being encoded with `encoding`.
  function fetchAndDecode(file, encoding) {
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open('GET', file);
    // Using 'arraybuffer' as the responseType ensures that the raw data is returned,
    // rather than letting XMLHttpRequest decode the data first.
    xhr.responseType = 'arraybuffer';
    xhr.onload = function() {
      if (this.status == 200) {
        // The decode() method takes a DataView as a parameter, which is a wrapper on top of the ArrayBuffer.
        var dataView = new DataView(this.response);
        // The TextDecoder interface is documented at http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-textdecoder
        var decoder = new TextDecoder(encoding);
        var decodedString = decoder.decode(dataView);
        // Add the decoded file's text to the <pre> element on the page.
        document.querySelector('#results').textContent += decodedString + '\n';
      } else {
        console.error('Error while requesting', file, this);
      }
    };
    xhr.send();
  }
</script>

    var byteArray = new Uint8Array(byteString.length);
