# Encoding
**encoding** is a simple wrapper around [node-iconv](https://github.com/bnoordhuis/node-iconv) and [iconv-lite](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/) to convert strings from one encoding to another. If node-iconv is not available for some reason,
iconv-lite will be used instead of it as a fallback.

## 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>
## iconv support
By default only iconv-lite is bundled. If you need node-iconv support, you need to add it
as an additional dependency for your project:
...,
"dependencies":{
"encoding": "*",
"iconv": "*"
},
...
