node:buffer

globalThis.Buffer y la exportación Buffer de node:buffer son el mismo objeto. Los buffers son instancias de Uint8Array con acceso indexado y un ArrayBuffer subyacente estable.

import { Buffer } from "node:buffer";

const bytes = Buffer.from("hello", "utf8");
console.log(bytes[0]); // 104
console.log(bytes.toString("hex")); // 68656c6c6f
console.log(bytes instanceof Uint8Array); // true

Use Buffer.alloc, Buffer.allocUnsafe, Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow y Buffer.from para crear buffers. Llamar a Buffer() o new Buffer() sigue funcionando por compatibilidad, pero emite una advertencia de obsolescencia.

Están disponibles las operaciones habituales de Node, incluidas compare, copy, equals, fill, includes, indexOf, slice, subarray, write, lecturas/escrituras numéricas de ancho fijo y variable, lecturas/escrituras de BigInt e intercambios de bytes.

Las codificaciones admitidas incluyen utf8, utf16le, latin1, ascii, base64, base64url y hex. No se acepta utf16be.

node:buffer también exporta Blob, File, SlowBuffer, atob, btoa, isAscii, isUtf8, transcode, constantes de tamaño y auxiliares relacionados.

A diferencia de Node, las implementaciones de allocUnsafe de Elide devuelven memoria rellenada con ceros en lugar de exponer bytes usados anteriormente.
