java code --
String plainText = "thisismyplaintext";
byte[] bytes = plainText.getBytes("UTF-8");
System.out.println(bytes);
// Output - [B@3cd1a2f1
I am trying to do the same thing in javascript but I am always getting absolutely different output like example - [11, 12, 14, 16].
I have tried everything from different stackoverfow answers but nothing is working similar to this java code.
Please help me to achieve the same thing in javascript and to get similar output.
[B@3cd1a2f1 is not the result you are after. [B@3cd1a2f1 represents the class type ([B) of your array of bytes and the hex representation of your array's hash. You need to instead print the array contents, which can be done using Arrays.toString():
String plainText = "thisismyplaintext";
byte[] bytes = plainText.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(bytes));
This will give the array:
[116, 104, 105, 115, 105, 115, 109, 121, 112, 108, 97, 105, 110, 116, 101, 120, 116]
This you can get the same result in Javascript using the following:
const str = "thisismyplaintext";
const utf8 = unescape(encodeURIComponent(str));
const arr = [...utf8].map(c => c.charCodeAt(0));
console.log(arr);- Credit to this answer for byte array algorithm
