Tests:

Extend prototype
String.prototype.toBinary = function () { let output = ''; for (let i = 0; i < this.length; i++) { output += this[i].charCodeAt(0).toString(2) + " "; } return output; } String.prototype.toHex = function () { let output = ''; for (let i = 0; i < this.length; i++) { output += this[i].charCodeAt(0).toString(8) + " "; } return output; } for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { let t = new String("test"); console.log(t.toString(), t.toBinary(), t.toHex()); }
Object.assign
Object.assign(String.prototype, { toBinary() { let output = ''; for (let i = 0; i < this.length; i++) { output += this[i].charCodeAt(0).toString(2) + " "; } return output; }, toHex() { let output = ''; for (let i = 0; i < this.length; i++) { output += this[i].charCodeAt(0).toString(8) + " "; } return output; } }); for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { let t = new String("test"); console.log(t.toString(), t.toBinary(), t.toHex()); }
