The ArrayBuffer is a data type that is used to represent a generic, fixed-length binary data buffer. You can't directly manipulate the contents of an ArrayBuffer; instead, you create an ArrayBufferView object which represents the buffer in a specific format, and use that to read and write the contents of the buffer.
Method overview
ArrayBuffer ArrayBuffer(unsigned long length); |
Attributes
| Attribute | Type | Description |
byteLength | unsigned long | The size, in bytes, of the array. This is established when the array is constructed and cannot be changed. Read only. |
Methods
ArrayBuffer()
The constructor accepts as input a byte length for the new buffer, and returns the newly-created ArrayBuffer object.
ArrayBuffer ArrayBuffer( unsigned long length );
Parameters
- length
- The size, in bytes, of the array buffer to create.
Return value
A new ArrayBuffer object of the specified size. Its contents are initialized to 0.
Example
In this example, we create a 32-byte buffer:
var buf = new ArrayBuffer(32);
