{"library":"buffer-es6","type":"library","category":null,"description":"buffer-es6 provides a robust and performant implementation of the Node.js Buffer API, specifically re-engineered using ES6 syntax for browser environments. It is optimized for bundlers like Rollup, enabling better tree-shaking compared to its predecessor. The current stable version is 4.9.3. While no explicit release cadence is provided, the package appears actively maintained as a specialized fork of the main `buffer` package. Its key differentiators include identical API compatibility with Node.js Buffer, broad browser support (down to IE6), and a remarkably small bundle size (5.04KB minified + gzipped). It internally bundles `ieee754` and `base64-js`, providing a self-contained solution for binary data manipulation in the browser.","language":"javascript","status":"active","version":"4.9.3","tags":["javascript","arraybuffer","browser","browserify","buffer","compatible","dataview","uint8array"],"last_verified":"Wed May 27","install":[{"cmd":"npm install buffer-es6","imports":["import { Buffer } from 'buffer-es6';","const Buffer = require('buffer-es6');","const Buffer = require('buffer/').Buffer;"]},{"cmd":"yarn add buffer-es6","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add buffer-es6","imports":[]}],"homepage":null,"github":"https://github.com/calvinmetcalf/buffer-es6","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/buffer-es6","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/buffer-es6/compatibility"}}
