* encode to handle invalid UTF | |
* | |
* If Chrome tells you "Could not decode a text frame as UTF-8" when you try sending | |
* data from nodejs, try using these functions to encode/decode your JSON objects. | |
* | |
* see discussion here: http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=761#c8 | |
* see also, for browsers that don't have native JSON: https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js | |
* | |
* Any time you need to send data between client and server (or vice versa), encode before sending, | |
* and decode upon receiving. This is useful, for example, if you are using socket.io for real-time | |
* client/server communication of data fetched from a third-party service like Twitter, which might | |
* contain Emoji, or other UTF characters outside the BMP. | |
