About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Buffer

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Buffer constructor.

Usage

import Buffer from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/buffer-ctor@esm/index.mjs';

Buffer( size )

Allocates a Buffer having a specified number of bytes.

var b = new Buffer( 10 );
// returns <Buffer>

Buffer( array )

Allocates a Buffer from an array of octets.

var b = new Buffer( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );
// returns <Buffer>[ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

Buffer( buffer )

Copies buffer data to a new Buffer instance.

var b1 = new Buffer( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );
var b2 = new Buffer( b1 );
// returns <Buffer>[ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

Buffer( str[, encoding] )

Returns a Buffer containing a provided string.

var b = new Buffer( 'beep boop' );
// returns <Buffer>
