Convert a Uint8Array to a string

Decode a Uint8Array of UTF-8 bytes into a string with the Web-standard TextDecoder.

Bun implements the Web-standard TextDecoder class for converting binary data types like Uint8Array to strings.

const arr = new Uint8Array([104, 101, 108, 108, 111]);
const decoder = new TextDecoder();
const str = decoder.decode(arr);
// => "hello"
