Distributions
ByteBuffer.js uses either ArrayBuffers in the browser or Buffers under node.js.
Browser: ArrayBuffer-backed
Accessed through Typed Arrays
Using Typed Arrays here is pretty much ideal, but it requires a somewhat recent browser.
-
bytebuffer.js uses an ArrayBuffer as its backing buffer, accessed through an Uint8Array.
-
bytebuffer.min.js has been compiled with Closure Compiler using advanced optimizations.
-
bytebuffer.min.js.gz has also been gzipped using
-9. -
bytebuffer.min.map is the source map generated by Closure Compiler.
Accessed through a DataView (polyfill compatible)
Using DataViews is generally slower but works well with common polyfills for older browsers (avoids array access operators on Typed Arrays).
-
bytebuffer-dataview.js uses an ArrayBuffer as its backing buffer, accessed through a DataView.
-
bytebuffer-dataview.min.js has been compiled with Closure Compiler using advanced optimizations.
-
bytebuffer-dataview.min.js.gz has also been gzipped using
-9. -
bytebuffer-dataview.min.map is the source map generated by Closure Compiler.
node.js: Buffer-backed
- bytebuffer-node.js uses a node Buffer as its backing buffer and accessor.
