# textEncodingName

The name of the text encoding provided by the response’s originating source.

## Declaration

```swift
var textEncodingName: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If no text encoding was provided by the protocol, this property’s value is nil. You can convert this string to a CFStringEncoding value by calling CFStringConvertIANACharSetNameToEncoding(_:). You can subsequently convert that value to an NSStringEncoding value by calling CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding(_:).
