Package description
The `obuf` npm package is designed for efficient binary data manipulation. It allows for operations such as appending, slicing, and transforming binary data in a buffer. This package is particularly useful for applications that require direct manipulation of binary data, such as networking applications, file I/O operations, and data serialization/deserialization tasks.
Appending data
This feature demonstrates how to append data to the buffer. It includes appending both a UInt8 and a string to the buffer.
"use strict";\nconst OBuffer = require('obuf');\nlet buffer = new OBuffer();\nbuffer.writeUInt8(0x01);\nbuffer.writeString('Hello, World!');"Slicing data
This feature shows how to slice a portion of the buffer. It creates a slice of the buffer from index 0 to 5.
"use strict";\nconst OBuffer = require('obuf');\nlet buffer = new OBuffer();\nbuffer.writeUInt8(0x01);\nbuffer.writeString('Hello, World!');\nlet slice = buffer.slice(0, 5);"Transforming data
This feature illustrates how to transform the data in the buffer. It applies a transformation function to each byte in the buffer, in this case, XORing each byte with 0xff.
"use strict";\nconst OBuffer = require('obuf');\nlet buffer = new OBuffer();\nbuffer.writeUInt8(0x01);\nbuffer.transform(data => {\n // Transform the data\n return data.map(byte => byte ^ 0xff);\n});"The `buffer` package is a built-in Node.js module that provides a way to work with binary data. It is similar to `obuf` in that it allows manipulation of binary data. However, `obuf` might offer a more fluent API for chaining operations.
The `bl` (Buffer List) package is a storage object for collections of Node Buffers, similar to `obuf` in its focus on binary data. Unlike `obuf`, `bl` is optimized for scenarios where you need to collect data chunks into a single buffer and consume it sequentially.
Readme
Byte buffer specialized for data in chunks with special cases for dropping bytes in the front, merging bytes in to various integer types and abandoning buffer without penalty for previous chunk merges.
