Package Exports
- bytebuffer
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 (bytebuffer) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
A fast and complete ByteBuffer implementation using either ArrayBuffers in the browser or node Buffers under node.js, generated from a single source tree through MetaScript.
Features
- Three API-compatible versions:
- bytebuffer Backing buffer: ArrayBuffer, Accessor: Uint8Array
- bytebuffer-dataview Backing buffer: ArrayBuffer, Accessor: DataView
- bytebuffer-node Backing buffer / Accessor: node Buffer
- 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit (through long.js) signed and unsigned integers
- 32 and 64 bit floats
- Varints as used in protobuf (32 and 64 bit, zig-zag)
- Base64, utf8, binary, hex and debug encodings
- Handy string and debugging utilities
- Big and little endianness
- Relative and absolute zero-copy operations wherever possible
- Transparent resizing when using unknown-length data
- Chaining of all operations that do not return a specific value
- Slicing, appending, prepending, reversing, flip, mark, reset, etc.
Usage
The library is compatible with CommonJS and AMD loaders and is exposed globally as dcodeIO.ByteBuffer if neither is
available.
var ByteBuffer = require("bytebuffer");
var bb = new ByteBuffer()
.writeIString("Hello world!")
.flip();
console.log(bb.readIString()+" from bytebuffer.js");In the browser, 64 bit integer support is optional and present only if Long.js has been loaded prior to bytebuffer.js.
