Convert integer array to string at javascript

JavaScript strings consist of UTF-16 code units, yet the numbers in your array are the bytes of a UTF-8 string. Here is one way to convert the string, which uses the decodeURIComponent() function:

var i, str = '';

for (i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    str += '%' + ('0' + arr[i].toString(16)).slice(-2);
}
str = decodeURIComponent(str);

Performing the UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversion in the conventional way is likely to be more efficient but would require more code.


var arry = [3,5,7,9];
console.log(arry.map(String))

the result will be ['3','5','7','9']

var arry = ['3','5','7','9']
console.log(arry.map(Number))

the result will be [3,5,7,9]


Another solution without decodeURIComponent for characters up to 3 bytes (U+FFFF). The function presumes the string is valid UTF-8, not much error checking...

function atos(arr) {
    for (var i=0, l=arr.length, s='', c; c = arr[i++];)
        s += String.fromCharCode(
            c > 0xdf && c < 0xf0 && i < l-1
                ? (c & 0xf) << 12 | (arr[i++] & 0x3f) << 6 | arr[i++] & 0x3f
            : c > 0x7f && i < l
                ? (c & 0x1f) << 6 | arr[i++] & 0x3f
            : c
        );

    return s
}
