The swiss army knife for binary data in JavaScript.
npm install @skyleen/bytebuffer- Based off of upstream master instead of upstream latest release, because tests were broken on the latest release.
- Removed new Buffer() usage.
- Dropped super old Node version support to use Buffer.alloc/Buffer.from.
- Removed minified/gzipped builds.
- Added files to package.json for smaller package size.

!bytebuffer.js - The swiss army knife for binary data in JavaScript.
======================================
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.
