fun String.encodeToByteArray(
startIndex: Int = 0,
endIndex: Int = this.length,
throwOnInvalidSequence: Boolean = false
): ByteArray(Common source) (JVM source) (JS source) (Native source)
Encodes this string or its substring to an array of bytes in UTF-8 encoding.
Parameters
startIndex - the beginning (inclusive) of the substring to encode, 0 by default.
endIndex - the end (exclusive) of the substring to encode, length of this string by default.
throwOnInvalidSequence - specifies whether to throw an exception on malformed char sequence or replace.
Exceptions
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if startIndex is less than zero or endIndex is greater than the length of this string.
IllegalArgumentException - if startIndex is greater than endIndex.
CharacterCodingException - if this string contains malformed char sequence and throwOnInvalidSequence is true.
