JavaScript - The Strings Object

The String object lets you work with a series of characters; it wraps Javascript s string primitive data type with a number of helper methods.

As JavaScript automatically converts between string primitives and String objects, you can call any of the helper methods of the String object on a string primitive.

Syntax

Use the following syntax to create a String object −

var val = new String(string);

The String parameter is a series of characters that has been properly encoded.
