Buffer Reading and Writing

Example

Simple length-prefixed string:

var bufrw = require("bufrw");

var buf = bufrw.toBuffer(bufrw.str1, "hello world");
// <Buffer 0b 68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64>
var str = bufrw.fromBuffer(bufrw.str1, buf)
// "hello world"

// TODO more examples

Concept and Motivation

A combinatoric library for synchronous binary buffer reading and writing.

The design is to combine:

  • needed byte length calculation
  • writing into a pre-allocated buffer
  • reading from a buffer

Into a single re-combinable data type, eventually supporting code generation for efficiency.

Any of those three steps may result in an error, so rather than rely on error throw/catching we use an error-able result type.
