# Encoding **encoding** is a simple wrapper around [iconv-lite](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/) to convert strings from one encoding to another. [](http://travis-ci.org/andris9/Nodemailer) [](http://badge.fury.io/js/encoding) Initially _encoding_ was a wrapper around _node-iconv_ (main) and _iconv-lite_ (fallback) and was used as the encoding layer for Nodemailer/mailparser. Somehow it also ended up as a dependency for a bunch of other project, none of these actually using _node-iconv_. The loading mechanics caused issues for front-end projects and Nodemailer/malparser had moved on, so _node-iconv_ was removed. ## Install Install through npm npm install encoding ## Usage Require the module var encoding = require("encoding"); Convert with encoding.convert() var resultBuffer = encoding.convert(text, toCharset, fromCharset); Where - **text** is either a Buffer or a String to be converted - **toCharset** is the characterset to convert the string - **fromCharset** (_optional_, defaults to UTF-8) is the source charset Output of the conversion is always a Buffer object. Example var result = encoding.convert("ÕÄÖÜ", "Latin_1"); console.log(result); //<Buffer d5 c4 d6 dc> ## License **MIT**
