This is my code.
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET',window.location.href, true);
xhr.responseType = "arraybuffer";
xhr.onload = function(event) {
debugger;
console.log(" coverting array buffer to string ");
alert(String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new Uint8Array(this.response)));
};
xhr.send();
That request is being made to a PDF URL which is around 3 MB in size. I have read a few threads with same error, Maximum call stack size exceeded, telling me that there must be some recursive call but I do not see any recursive call here. Can anyone help?
The error is caused by a limitation in the number of function arguments. See "RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded" Why?
Instead of String.fromCharCode.apply()
, use e. g. a TextEncoder
. See Uint8Array to string in Javascript
this.response.arrayBuffer()
.then((buf) => {
const uint8Array = new Uint8Array(buf);
const data = uint8Array.reduce((acc, i) => acc += String.fromCharCode.apply(null, [i]), '');
return data;
})
I had the same problem and I finally used this code:
function _arrayBufferToBase64( buffer ) {
var binary = '';
var bytes = new Uint8Array( buffer );
var len = bytes.byteLength;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
binary += String.fromCharCode( bytes[ i ] );
}
return window.btoa( binary );
}
