+name: Convert a Uint8Array to a string
+---
+
+If a [`DataView`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/DataView) contains ASCII-encoded text, you can convert it to a string using the [`TextDecoder`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextDecoder) class.
+
+```ts
+const dv: DataView = ...;
+const decoder = new TextDecoder();
+const str = decoder.decode(dv);
+```
