Buffer

Buffer objects are used to represent a fixed-length sequence of bytes.

Many Node.js APIs support Buffers.

Buffers and character encodings

When converting between Buffers and strings, a character encoding may be specified.

If no character encoding is specified, UTF-8 will be used as the default.

2/85

Buffers and TypedArrays

Buffer instances are also JavaScript Uint8Array and TypedArray instances.

All TypedArray methods are available on Buffers.

There are, however, subtle incompatibilities between the Buffer API and the TypedArray API.

Buffers and iteration

Buffer instances can be iterated over using for..of syntax.

Additionally, the buf.values(), buf.keys(), and buf.entries() methods can be used to create iterators.
