What are arraybuffer.slice's main functionalities?

Slice ArrayBuffer

This feature allows you to slice an ArrayBuffer from a start byte to an end byte, creating a new ArrayBuffer that contains the specified portion of the original buffer.

const arrayBuffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
const view = new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer);
view.set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]);
const slicedBuffer = arrayBuffer.slice(2, 6);
const slicedView = new Uint8Array(slicedBuffer);
console.log(slicedView); // Output: Uint8Array [3, 4, 5, 6]

Other packages similar to arraybuffer.slice

buffer

The buffer package provides a way to handle binary data in Node.js. It includes a slice method that works similarly to arraybuffer.slice but is designed for use with Node.js Buffer objects rather than ArrayBuffers.

typedarray

The typedarray package provides a polyfill for the JavaScript TypedArray API, including methods like slice. It is useful for environments that do not support TypedArrays natively.
