Package description
The clone-buffer npm package is designed to create a clone of a buffer. It is particularly useful in situations where you need to manipulate or use a buffer without altering the original data. This package provides a straightforward and efficient way to duplicate buffer objects, ensuring that operations on the cloned buffer do not affect the original buffer.
Cloning a Buffer
This feature allows you to clone a buffer. The code sample demonstrates how to clone a buffer containing the string 'Hello, world!' and then print the cloned buffer's content to the console. The cloned buffer is a separate instance, and modifications to it will not affect the original buffer.
const cloneBuffer = require('clone-buffer');
const buffer = Buffer.from('Hello, world!');
const clonedBuffer = cloneBuffer(buffer);
console.log(clonedBuffer.toString()); // 'Hello, world!'Similar to clone-buffer, buffer-copy is designed to copy buffer data to a new buffer. The main difference lies in the API and possibly the internal implementation, but both achieve the goal of duplicating buffer content without affecting the original.
While deep-copy is a more general-purpose cloning utility that can handle various types of data, including buffers, it offers functionality similar to clone-buffer when it comes to duplicating buffers. The difference is that deep-copy can be used in a wider range of scenarios beyond just buffers.
