decodeToString
Decodes a string from the bytes in UTF-8 encoding in this array.
Malformed byte sequences are replaced by the replacement char \uFFFD.
fun ByteArray.decodeToString(
startIndex: Int = 0,
endIndex: Int = this.size,
throwOnInvalidSequence: Boolean = false
): String(Common source) (JVM source) (JS source) (Native source)
Decodes a string from the bytes in UTF-8 encoding in this array or its subrange.
Parameters
startIndex - the beginning (inclusive) of the subrange to decode, 0 by default.
endIndex - the end (exclusive) of the subrange to decode, size of this array by default.
throwOnInvalidSequence - specifies whether to throw an exception on malformed byte sequence or replace it by the replacement char \uFFFD.
Exceptions
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if startIndex is less than zero or endIndex is greater than the size of this array.
IllegalArgumentException - if startIndex is greater than endIndex.
CharacterCodingException - if the byte array contains malformed UTF-8 byte sequence and throwOnInvalidSequence is true.
