# 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)[https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/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.
