The [`Buffer`](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html) class provides a built-in `.toString()` method that converts a `Buffer` to a string.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const buf = Buffer.from("hello");
|
|
const str = buf.toString();
|
|
// => "hello"
|
|
```
|
|

You can optionally specify an encoding and byte range.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const buf = Buffer.from("hello world!");
|
|
const str = buf.toString("utf8", 0, 5);
|
|
// => "hello"
|
|
```
