Advanced tools
This libraries brings features from Node's Buffer to JS's Uint8Arrays and in some cases other Typed Arrays, in the fastest ways possible, often faster than Node's own Buffer's methods.
import { arr2text, text2arr, arr2hex, hex2arr, arr2base, base2arr } from 'uint8-util'
const str = arr2text(new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]))
const uint8 = text2arr('uflnpq')
const hexString = arr2hex(new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]))
const uint8 = hex2arr('abc')
const base64String = arr2base(new Uint8Array([89, 87, 74, 106, 77, 84, 73]))
const uint8 = base2arr('YWJjMTI')
import { concat, equal, hash, randomBytes } from 'uint8-util'
const joined = concat([[1,2,3], new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3])])
const same = equal([1,2,3], [1,2,3])
const hash = await hash('mystring')
const hash = await hash(new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]))
const rand = arr2hex(randomBytes(128))
