With browserify, simply require('buffer')
or use the Buffer
global and you will get this module.
The goal is to provide an API that is 100% identical to node's Buffer API. Read the official docs for the full list of properties, instance methods, and class methods that are supported.

for enterpriseAvailable as part of the Tidelift Subscription.
The maintainers of buffer
and thousands of other packages are working with Tidelift to deliver commercial support and maintenance for the open source dependencies you use to build your applications. Save time, reduce risk, and improve code health, while paying the maintainers of the exact dependencies you use. Learn more.
To use this module directly (without browserify), install it:
npm install buffer
This module was previously called native-buffer-browserify, but please use buffer from now on.
If you do not use a bundler, you can use the standalone script.
The module's API is identical to node's Buffer
API. Read the
official docs for the full list of properties,
instance methods, and class methods that are supported.
As mentioned above, require('buffer')
or use the Buffer
global with
browserify and this module will automatically be included
in your bundle. Almost any npm module will work in the browser, even if it assumes that
the node Buffer
API will be available.
To depend on this module explicitly (without browserify), require it like this:
var Buffer = require('buffer/').Buffer // note: the trailing slash is important!
To require this module explicitly, use require('buffer/')
which tells the node.js module
lookup algorithm (also used by browserify) to use the npm module named buffer
instead of the node.js core module named buffer
!
The Buffer constructor returns instances of Uint8Array
that have their prototype
changed to Buffer.prototype
. Furthermore, Buffer
is a subclass of Uint8Array
,
so the returned instances will have all the node Buffer
methods and the
Uint8Array
methods. Square bracket notation works as expected -- it returns a
single octet.
The Uint8Array
prototype remains unmodified.
This module tracks the Buffer API in the latest (unstable) version of node.js. The Buffer API is considered stable in the node stability index, so it is unlikely that there will ever be breaking changes. Nonetheless, when/if the Buffer API changes in node, this module's API will change accordingly.
buffer-reverse
- Reverse a bufferbuffer-xor
- Bitwise xor a bufferis-buffer
- Determine if an object is a Buffer without including the whole Buffer
packageUse typedarray-to-buffer
to convert any kind of typed array to a Buffer
. Does not perform a copy, so it's super fast.
Buffer
is a subclass of Uint8Array
(which is a typed array). So there is no need to explicitly convert to typed array. Just use the buffer as a Uint8Array
.
Use blob-to-buffer
to convert a Blob
to a Buffer
.
To convert a Buffer
to a Blob
, use the Blob
constructor:
var blob = new Blob([ buffer ])
Optionally, specify a mimetype:
var blob = new Blob([ buffer ], { type: 'text/html' })
To convert an ArrayBuffer
to a Buffer
, use the Buffer.from
function. Does not perform a copy, so it's super fast.
var buffer = Buffer.from(arrayBuffer)
To convert a Buffer
to an ArrayBuffer
, use the .buffer
property (which is present on all Uint8Array
objects):
var arrayBuffer = buffer.buffer.slice(
buffer.byteOffset, buffer.byteOffset + buffer.byteLength
)
Alternatively, use the to-arraybuffer
module.
See perf tests in /perf
.
BrowserBuffer
is the browser buffer
module (this repo). Uint8Array
is included as a
sanity check (since BrowserBuffer
uses Uint8Array
under the hood, Uint8Array
will
always be at least a bit faster). Finally, NodeBuffer
is the node.js buffer module,
which is included to compare against.
NOTE: Performance has improved since these benchmarks were taken. PR welcome to update the README.

First, install the project:
npm install
Then, to run tests in Node.js, run:
npm run test-node
To test locally in a browser, you can run:
npm run test-browser-es5-local # For ES5 browsers that don't support ES6
npm run test-browser-es6-local # For ES6 compliant browsers
This will print out a URL that you can then open in a browser to run the tests, using airtap.
To run automated browser tests using Saucelabs, ensure that your SAUCE_USERNAME
and SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY
environment variables are set, then run:
npm test
This is what's run in Travis, to check against various browsers. The list of browsers is kept in the bin/airtap-es5.yml
and bin/airtap-es6.yml
files.
This module uses JavaScript Standard Style.
To test that the code conforms to the style, npm install
and run:
./node_modules/.bin/standard
