ArrayBufferView

Find out what is an ArrayBufferView object and how to use it

An ArrayBufferView is a portion of an ArrayBuffer.

It has an offset, and a length.

Once created, it provides 3 read-only properties:

buffer points to the original ArrayBuffer
byteOffset is the offset on that buffer
byteLength is the length of its content in bytes

Typed Arrays and DataViews are instances of an ArrayBufferView.
