Code example (optional)

[dreyfus92]

i'd rather go with the native API here than the TextDecoder variant. node has a native buffer.isUtf8() since 18.14 (import { isUtf8 } from 'node:buffer')

wdyt @43081j ?

[gameroman]

buffer.isUtf8() is a good choice for Node.js

For browsers TextDecoder is the way to do it

[43081j]

we need to show both i guess, so maybe use a documented replacement for this one?

[gameroman]

Yeah, makes sense 👍
