This package is a mirror of the string\+\_\+decoder implementation in Node-\/core.

Full documentation may be found on the \href{https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.9.4/docs/api/}{\texttt{ Node.\+js website}}.

As of version 1.\+0.\+0 {\bfseries{string\+\_\+decoder}} uses semantic versioning.\hypertarget{md_sfcode_node_modules_string_decoder_README_autotoc_md29132}{}\doxysection{Previous versions}\label{md_sfcode_node_modules_string_decoder_README_autotoc_md29132}
Previous version numbers match the versions found in Node core, e.\+g. 0.\+10.\+24 matches Node 0.\+10.\+24, likewise 0.\+11.\+10 matches Node 0.\+11.\+10.\hypertarget{md_sfcode_node_modules_string_decoder_README_autotoc_md29133}{}\doxysection{Update}\label{md_sfcode_node_modules_string_decoder_README_autotoc_md29133}
