Node supports 4 byte\-string encodings\. ASCII ("ascii"), UTF\-8 ("utf8") both use the string object, obviously\. Then two "raw binary" encodings \- one uses an array of integers ("raw") and the other uses a string ("raws")\. Neither raw encodings are perfect and thier implemenations are rather inefficient\. Hopefully the raw encoding situation will improve in the future\.
