Benchmark: UTF-8 vs UTF-16 WASM String Interface

HTML Preparation code:

<!--your preparation HTML code goes here-->

Script Preparation code:

const str_en = "Comparing the performance of UTF-8 vs UTF-16 string encoding copying into and out of WASM. 🙂";
const str_ar = "استعار جحا مرة آنية من جاره وعندما أعادها له أعاد معها آنية صغيرة";

const str_en_large = str_en.repeat(10);
const str_ar_large = str_ar.repeat(10);

const encoder = new TextEncoder('utf-8');
const decoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8', { ignoreBOM: true, fatal: true });

Tests:

str_en
const buf = encoder.encode(str_en); const str = decoder.decode(buf);
str_ar
const buf = encoder.encode(str_ar); const str = decoder.decode(buf);
str_en_large
const buf = encoder.encode(str_en_large); const str = decoder.decode(buf);
str_ar_large
const buf = encoder.encode(str_ar_large); const str = decoder.decode(buf);
