This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2022.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The TextDecoderStream interface of the Encoding API converts a stream of text in a binary encoding, such as UTF-8 etc., to a stream of strings.
It is the streaming equivalent of TextDecoder.
It implements the same shape as a TransformStream, allowing it to be used in ReadableStream.pipeThrough() and similar methods.
