• listDecoders() - Returns an Arra with all decoder names.

native object extensions

• String::decode(codec) - Decodes an encoded string using the codec specified by the codecparameter . All parameters but the codec parameter are forwarded to the codec.
• String::encode(codec) - Encodes a string using the codec specified by the codec parameter. All Parameters but the codec parameter are forwarded to the codec.
• String::decode_base64() - Decodes a Base64 encoded string to a byte string.
• String::encode_base64() - Encodes a string using Base64.
• String::decode_uri() - Decodes a URI using decodeURI.
• String::encode_uri() - Encodes a URI using encodeURI.

codecs provided

Currently there are only two codecs base64 and uri. If you want to add your own codecs at runtime just extend the Stringl class by adding a String.prototype.encode_yourCodec or String.prototype.decode_yourCodec method.
