How to convert a String to Bytearray

Question

How can I convert a string in bytearray using JavaScript. Output should be equivalent of the below C# code.

UnicodeEncoding encoding = new UnicodeEncoding(); byte[] bytes = encoding.GetBytes(AnyString); 

As UnicodeEncoding is by default of UTF-16 with Little-Endianness.

Edit: I have a requirement to match the bytearray generated client side with the one generated at server side using the above C# code.

If you are looking for a solution that works in node.js, you can use this:

var myBuffer = []; var str = 'Stack Overflow'; var buffer = new Buffer(str, 'utf16le'); for (var i = 0; i < buffer.length; i++) {     myBuffer.push(buffer[i]); }  console.log(myBuffer);
