Strip UTF-8 byte order mark (BOM) from a string/buffer

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.

Install

$ npm install --save strip-bom

Usage

var fs = require('fs');
var stripBom = require('strip-bom');

stripBom('\uFEFFunicorn');
//=> 'unicorn'

stripBom(fs.readFileSync('unicorn.txt'));
//=> 'unicorn'

#1	18810	tjuricek	First-pass at JavaScript client SDK. JavaScript requires Node with Gulp to "browserfy" the library. It's the easiest way I found to use the swagger-js project; bundle up a wrapping method. There is no JavaScript reference guide. The swagger-js doesn't really document what they do very well, actually. Overall I'm not particularly impressed by swagger-js, it was hard to even figure out what the right method syntax was. We may want to invest time in doing it better. This required setting CORS response headers, which are currently defaulted to a fairly insecure setting.
