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.
If you are looking for ByteBuffer.js 2 (ArrayBuffers only), that's the branch.
- 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit signed and unsigned integers
- 32 and 64 bit floats
- Big and little endianness
- Varints as used in protobuf (32 and 64 bit, zig-zag)
- Base64, binary, debug, hex and utf8 encodings
- Handy string and debugging utilities
- 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.
- CommonJS, AMD and shim compatible
- Also available via npm
- Compiled through Closure Compiler using ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS (fully annotated, includes externs and source map)
- Fully documented using jsdoc3
- Well tested through test.js
- Zero production dependencies (Long.js is optional)
- Install:
npm install bytebuffer
var ByteBuffer = require("bytebuffer");
var bb = new ByteBuffer();
bb.writeIString("Hello world!").flip();
console.log(bb.readIString()+" from ByteBuffer.js");Optionally depends on Long.js for long (int64) support. If you do not require long support, you can skip the Long.js include.
<script src="Long.min.js"></script>
<script src="ByteBufferAB.min.js"></script>var ByteBuffer = dcodeIO.ByteBuffer;
var bb = new ByteBuffer();
bb.writeIString("Hello world!").flip();
alert(bb.readIString()+" from ByteBuffer.js");Optionally depends on Long.js for long (int64) support. If you do not require long support, you can skip the Long.js config. Require.js example:
require.config({
"paths": {
"Long": "/path/to/Long.js"
"ByteBuffer": "/path/to/ByteBufferAB.js"
}
});
require(["ByteBuffer"], function(ByteBuffer) {
var bb = new ByteBuffer();
bb.writeIString("Hello world!").flip();
alert(bb.readIString()+" from ByteBuffer.js");
});
- Requires working ArrayBuffer & DataView implementations (i.e. use a polyfill)
