Browser-buffer.js

An attempt at mimicing node.js's Buffer API in the browser using typed arrays. This project uses a lot of code from node.js's lib/buffer.js. This library still needs a lot of work both to get it running across the board and to clean up some of the pollution it puts on the UInt8Array prototype.

Usage:

<script src="src/browser-buffer.js" /></script>

<script>
	var value = new Buffer('test');
	console.log(value.toString());
	
	value = new Buffer('test', 'utf8');
	console.log(value.toString());
</script>

(lightly) Tested in:

• Chrome 18 (beta) (Ubuntu)
• Firefox 10.0.2 (Ubuntu)

Todo:

• More string encodings
  1. hex
  2. binary
  3. base64 (possibly use btoa/atob?)
  4. ucs-2
