Readme
buffer/typed array agnostic buffer operations.
bops
presents a JavaScript API for working with binary data that will work exactly the same in supported browsers and in node. due to the way that Buffer
is implemented in node it is impossible to take code written against the Buffer
API and make it work on top of binary data structures (Array Buffers and Typed Arrays) in the browser.
instead you have to fake the API on top of Object
, but Object
isn't designed for holding raw binary data and will be really slow/memory inefficient for many common binary use cases (parsing files, writing files, etc).
use bops
in place of Buffer
or Uint8Array
to make your binary JS code fast + portable.
var binary = require('bops')
binary.readUInt8(new Buffer(10), 0) // === 10
in browser, will default to using Uint8Array
instances.
in node, will default to using Buffer
instances.
supported encodings
- utf8
- hex
- base64
