The readAsText()
method is used to read the contents of the specified Blob
or File
. When the read operation is complete, the readyState
is changed to DONE
, the loadend
event is triggered, and the result
property contains the contents of the file as a text string.
Note: The Blob.text()
method is a newer promise-based API to read a file as text.
Note: This method loads the entire file's content into memory and is not suitable for large files. Prefer readAsArrayBuffer()
for large files.
