Object used to represent a generic raw binary data buffer
.
You cannot directly manipulate the contents of an ArrayBuffer
; instead, you create one of the typed array objects
or a DataView object
which represents the buffer
in a specific format, and use that to read and write the contents of the buffer.
You can also get an array buffer from existing data, for example, from a Base64
string or from a local file
.
const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8); const view = new Int32Array(buffer);
