Methods include {{jsxref(\"String/at\", \"at()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/charAt\", \"charAt()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/charCodeAt\", \"charCodeAt()\")}}, and {{jsxref(\"String/codePointAt\", \"codePointAt()\")}}. Search: get information about a substring that conforms to a pattern, or test if a particular substring exists. Methods include {{jsxref(\"String/indexOf\", \"indexOf()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/lastIndexOf\", \"lastIndexOf()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/startsWith\", \"startsWith()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/endsWith\", \"endsWith()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/includes\", \"includes()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/match\", \"match()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/matchAll\", \"matchAll()\")}}, and {{jsxref(\"String/search\", \"search()\")}} Composition: combine strings into a longer string. Methods include {{jsxref(\"String/padStart\", \"padStart()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/padEnd\", \"padEnd()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/concat\", \"concat()\")}}, and {{jsxref(\"String/repeat\", \"repeat()\")}}. Decomposition: break a string into smaller strings. Methods include {{jsxref(\"String/split\", \"split()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/slice\", \"slice()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/substring\", \"substring()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/substr\", \"substr()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/trim\", \"trim()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/trimStart\", \"trimStart()\")}}, and {{jsxref(\"String/trimEnd\", \"trimEnd()\")}}. Transformation: return a new string based on the current string's content. Methods include {{jsxref(\"String/toLowerCase\", \"toLowerCase()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/toUpperCase\", \"toUpperCase()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/toLocaleLowerCase\", \"toLocaleLowerCase()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/toLocaleUpperCase\", \"toLocaleUpperCase()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"String/normalize\", \"normalize()\")}}, and {{jsxref(\"String/toWellFormed\", \"toWellFormed()\")}}.\n\nWhen working with strings, there are two other objects that provide important functionality for string manipulation: {{jsxref(\"RegExp\")}} and {{jsxref(\"Intl\")}}. They are introduced in regular expressions and internationalization respectively.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
