Convert iso-8859-1 to utf-8 javascript

Question

I try to parse a \"iso-8859-1\" page and save to my DB with utf-8, this is my code:

var buffer = iconv.encode(data, \"iso-8859-1\");
data = iconv.decode(buff         


        

Answer 1

It's working for me:

var tempBuffer = new Buffer(response.body, 'iso-8859-1');
var iconv = new Iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8');
var tempBuffer = iconv.convert(tempBuffer);

used 'iconv' module https://github.com/bnoordhuis/node-iconv
