The String Decoder module converts Buffer data into properly encoded strings, ensuring multi-byte characters are not broken when data is processed in chunks.
- Built-in module (string_decoder) used to convert Buffer objects into readable strings.
- Prevents broken multi-byte characters when processing data.
- Commonly used with streams for chunked data and supports encodings like utf8, utf16le, and base64.

Class: StringDecoder Methods
Provides methods to decode Buffer data into strings while handling multi-byte characters correctly.
- stringDecoder.write(buffer):stringDecoder.write(buffer) returns a decoded string from the given Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView.
- stringDecoder.end([buffer]):stringDecoder.end([buffer]) returns any remaining data stored in the internal buffer as a string and ends the decoding process.
