qb-utf8-to-str-tiny

Tiny script for converting utf-8 to string based upon decodeURIComponent().
Runs in nodejs and in browser. Not efficient for large strings.

module.exports = function utf8_to_str (src, off, lim) {
  lim = lim == null ? src.length : lim
  for (var i = off || 0, s = ''; i < lim; i++) {
    var h = src[i].toString(16)
    if (h.length < 2) h = '0' + h
    s += '%' + h
  }
  return decodeURIComponent(s)
}

That's it. That's the code.

Complies with the 100% test coverage and minimum dependency requirements of qb-standard .
