# strip-bom [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/strip-bom)
|
|
|
|
> Strip UTF-8 [byte order mark](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark#UTF-8) (BOM) from a string/buffer/stream
|
|
|
|
From Wikipedia:
|
|
|
|
> The Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8, but does not require nor recommend its use. Byte order has no meaning in UTF-8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm install --save strip-bom
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var fs = require('fs');
|
|
var stripBom = require('strip-bom');
|
|
|
|
stripBom('\ufeffUnicorn');
|
|
//=> Unicorn
|
|
|
|
stripBom(fs.readFileSync('unicorn.txt'));
|
|
//=> Unicorn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or as a [Transform stream](http://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_transform):
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var fs = require('fs');
|
|
var stripBom = require('strip-bom');
|
|
|
|
fs.createReadStream('unicorn.txt')
|
|
.pipe(stripBom.stream())
|
|
.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('unicorn.txt'));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
