Since publication of the first edition in 1997, ECMAScript has grown to be one of the world's most widely used general-purpose programming languages. It| tc39.es
Getting the length of a string seems simple and is something we do in our code every day. Limiting the length of a string is also extremely common in both frontend and backend code. But both of those actions – especially length limiting – hide a lot of complexity, bug-risk, and even vulnerability danger. In this post, we’re going to examine string length limiting deeply enough to help us fully grok what it means when we do it and how best to do it… and discover that the best still isn...| adam-p.ca

The Unicode standard allows for certain (visually) identical characters to be represented in different ways. For example the character ä may be represented as a single combined codepoint "Latin Small Letter A with Diaeresis" (U+00E4) or by the combination of "Latin Small Letter A" (U+0061) followed by "Combining Diaeresis" (U+0308). The semantic meaning and visual representation is exactly the same, but the codepoints are different. How do you deal with that?| nick.groenen.me
