Interfaces

Enumerations

StringFormat

static

string

An enumeration of the possible string formats for upload.

Properties

Parameter

RAW

Indicates the string should be interpreted "raw", that is, as normal text. The string will be interpreted as UTF-16, then uploaded as a UTF-8 byte sequence. Example: The string 'Hello! \ud83d\ude0a' becomes the byte sequence 48 65 6c 6c 6f 21 20 f0 9f 98 8a

BASE64

Indicates the string should be interpreted as base64-encoded data. Padding characters (trailing '='s) are optional. Example: The string 'rWmO++E6t7/rlw==' becomes the byte sequence ad 69 8e fb e1 3a b7 bf eb 97

BASE64URL

Indicates the string should be interpreted as base64url-encoded data. Padding characters (trailing '='s) are optional. Example: The string 'rWmO--E6t7_rlw==' becomes the byte sequence ad 69 8e fb e1 3a b7 bf eb 97

DATA_URL

Indicates the string is a data URL, such as one obtained from canvas.toDataURL(). Example: the string 'data:application/octet-stream;base64,aaaa' becomes the byte sequence 69 a6 9a (the content-type "application/octet-stream" is also applied, but can be overridden in the metadata object).
