With [`TypedArray`] now available, the `Buffer` class implements the [`Uint8Array`] API in a manner that is more optimized and suitable for Node.js. -Instances of the `Buffer` class are similar to arrays of integers but +Instances of the `Buffer` class are similar to arrays of integers from `0` to +`255` (other integers are coerced to this range by `& 255` operation) but correspond to fixed-sized, raw memory allocations outside the V8 heap. The size of the `Buffer` is established when it is created and cannot be changed. |
