helper functions to make buffers faster

Package Exports

  • butils

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (butils) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

butils

These are some helper functions that appear to be significantly faster than core Buffer manipulation functions.

Functions included

  • readInt(buffer, offset) -- (buffer.readInt8(offset))
  • writeInt(buffer, int, offset) -- (buffer.writeInt8(int, offset))
  • readInt32(buffer, offset) -- (buffer.readUInt32BE(offset))
  • writeInt32(buffer, int, offset) -- (buffer.writeUInt32BE(int, offset))
  • readString(buffer, start, end) -- (buffer.toString(start, end))
  • writeString(buffer, str, offset) -- (Buffer.write(str, 'utf8', offset))
  • readVarint(buffer, offset) -- (no equivalent)
  • writeVarint(buffer, int, offset) -- (no equivalent)
