ByteArray-node

This is a Node.js implementation of the Actionscript 3 ByteArray, supporting AMF0.

Installation

npm install bytearray-node

Usage

This library is the same as the ByteArray in Actionscript 3.

const ByteArray = require("bytearray-node")

const ba = new ByteArray()

ba.writeByte(1)

ba.position = 0

console.log(ba.readByte()) // 1

For more tests and examples, see /test/.

ByteArray specification

Unsupported methods

• LZMA compression/uncompression
• AMF3 serialization/deserialization
• atomicCompareAndSwapIntAt/atomicCompareAndSwapLength

Unsupported properties

• objectEncoding (We support AMF0 only)
• shareable (Atomic methods)

Extra supported methods

• writeUnsignedByte
• writeUnsignedShort

Extra supported properties

• More character sets for writeMultiByte/readMultiByte thanks to iconv-lite
• You can use registerClassAlias by constructing a new ByteArray
• The endian is defined as a boolean (Default = true, true = BE, false = LE)
• You can construct a new ByteArray with a buffer or array

AMF0 specification

Unsupported methods

• XML Document
• AVMPlus marker (AMF3 switch)
• The writing of Strict Arrays (ECMA Arrays are the standard, Strict Arrays are AMF0 packets only)

Supported functionalities to note

• Typed objects are returned as a class

• Long strings are supported
• Date serialization writes the timezone offset
