@bnaya/objectbuffer

WIP - object like api backed by a single array buffer.

For Modern browsers and node. Zero direct dependencies.

"design" doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-UlUyH3HgOrN58avyScZlfjQtfJxgVwK_yE35mQHpYw/edit?usp=sharing

Why?

Personal interest, Maybe will be useful as shared memory primitive, and communicating with wasm.

At the current state, it's working! but very optimized (based only on linked lists), only append data (no logic to reuse unreachable memory) and its not extending the backing arraybuffer size by itself. if you pass the limit, an exception will be thrown.
We still don't have ArrayBuffer.prototype.transfer So we can't do that efficiently.

Missing parts

• array (Not sure yet if to make just make them as objects, or something smarter)
• Date
• Map On primitive key/value
• Set On primitive values

What's working:

• Kinda what ever that can do into JSON.stringify
• objects!
• other

What's not working yet, but can be:

• bigint bigger than 64 bit

What's probably never going to work (convince me otherwise in an issue):

• Anything that cannot go into JSON.stringify
• Symbol
• Circularities

Contribution / Collaboration

There's a huge place for optimizations, code hygiene, and features!
Feel free to open issues and maybe implementing missing parts
