Appendix D. JavaScript Global Functions

Several global functions are also available to your programs. Most of these involve parsing strings for some purpose, and several of them are for preparing strings for use as URIs. See Chapter 6: The Global and Object Objects for more explanation of these functions.

Table D.1. List of Methods

Method Name	Support	Description
`decodeURI()`	CH1+, FF1+, IE5.5+, NN4+, O3+, SF1+	Returns the unencoded value of an encoded Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) string.
`decodeURIComponent()`	CH1+, FF1+, IE5.5+, NN4+, O3+, SF1+	Returns the unencoded value of an encoded component of a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) string.
`encodeURI()`	CH1+, FF1+, IE5.5+, NN4+, O3+, SF1+	Encodes a text string to a valid Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) by encoding reserved characters.
`encodeURIComponent()`	CH1+, FF1+, IE5.5+, NN4+, O3+, SF1+	Encodes a text string to a valid component of a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) by encoding reserved characters.
`escape()`	CH1+, FF1+, IE3+, NN2+, O3+, SF1+	Encodes a string by replacing all special or reserved characters with their encoded equivalents. `escape()` is not Unicode-safe.
`eval()`	CH1+, FF1+, IE3+, NN2+, O3+, SF1+	Evaluates JavaScript source code and then executes it.
`isFinite()`	CH1+, FF1+, IE4+, NN4+, O3+, SF1+	Returns a `Boolean` value indicating if the supplied number is finite.
`isNaN()`	CH1+, FF1+, IE3+, NN2+, O3+, SF1+	Determines if the passed value will be treated as a number or not.
`parseFloat()`	CH1+, FF1+, IE3+, NN2+, O3+, SF1+	Returns a floating point ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
