bytebuffer

====================================== A fast and complete ByteBuffer implementation using either ArrayBuffers in the browser or node Buffers under node.js, generated from a single source tree through MetaScript. Features --------

• Three API-compatible versions:

bytebuffer   Backing buffer: ArrayBuffer, Accessor: Uint8Array bytebuffer-dataview   Backing buffer: ArrayBuffer, Accessor: DataView bytebuffer-node   Backing buffer / Accessor: node Buffer

• 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit (through long.js) signed and unsigned integers

• 32 and 64 bit floats

• Varints as used in protobuf (32 and 64 bit, zig-zag)

• Base64, utf8, binary, hex and debug encodings

• Handy string and debugging utilities

• Big and little endianness

• Relative and absolute zero-copy operations wherever possible

• Transparent resizing when using unknown-length data

• Chaining of all operations that do not return a specific value

• Slicing, appending, prepending, reversing, flip, mark, reset, etc.

Usage ----- The library is compatible with CommonJS and AMD loaders and is exposed globally as dcodeIO.ByteBuffer if neither is available. ```javascript var ByteBuffer = require("bytebuffer"); var bb = new ByteBuffer()

.writeIString("Hello world!")

.flip();

console.log(bb.readIString()+" from bytebuffer.js"); ``` In the browser, 64 bit integer support is optional and present only if Long.js has been loaded prior to bytebuffer.js. API ---
