Converting between Blobs and ArrayBuffers

JavaScript has two primary ways to represent binary data in the browser. ArrayBuffers/TypedArrays contain mutable (though still fixed-length) binary data which you can directly manipulate. Blobs contain immutable binary data which can only be accessed through the asynchronous File interface. Conver...

Manipulating ArrayBuffers with DataViews

DataViews provide methods to read and write individual values from an ArrayBuffer, instead of viewing the entire thing as an array of a single type. Here we set two bytes individually then interpret them together as a 16-bit unsigned integer, first big-endian then little-endian. var buffer = new Ar...

Basic usage getting content between buffers and clearing

Output buffering allows you to store any textual content (Text, HTML) in a variable and send to the browser as one piece at the end of your script. By default, php sends your content as it interprets it. <?php // Turn on output buffering ob_start(); // Print some output to the buffer (via...

Nested output buffers

You can nest output buffers and fetch the level for them to provide different content using the ob_get_level() function. <?php $i = 1; $output = null; while( $i <= 5 ) { // Each loop, creates a new output buffering `level` ob_start(); print "Current nest level: &quo...

Capturing the output buffer to re-use later

In this example, we have an array containing some data. We capture the output buffer in $items_li_html and use it twice in the page. <?php // Start capturing the output ob_start(); $items = ['Home', 'Blog', 'FAQ', 'Contact']; foreach($items as $item): // Note we're about to step &q...

Running output buffer before any content

ob_start(); $user_count = 0; foreach( $users as $user ) { if( $user['access'] != 7 ) { continue; } ?> <li class="users user-<?php echo $user['id']; ?>"> <a href="<?php echo $user['link']; ?>"> <?php echo $user...

Using Output buffer to store contents in a file, useful for reports, invoices etc

<?php ob_start(); ?> <html> <head> <title>Example invoice</title> </head> <body> <h1>Invoice #0000</h1> <h2>Cost: &pound;15,000</h2> ... </body> </html> <?php...

Processing the buffer via a callback

You can apply any kind of additional processing to the output by passing a callable to ob_start(). <?php function clearAllWhiteSpace($buffer) { return str_replace(array("\n", "\t", ' '), '', $buffer); } ob_start('clearAllWhiteSpace'); ?> <h1>Lorem Ipsum&l...

Reading a file into a Buffer using streams

While reading content from a file is already asynchronous using the fs.readFile() method, sometimes we want to get the data in a Stream versus in a simple callback. This allows us to pipe this data to other locations or to process it as it comes in versus all at once at the end. const fs = require(...

Comparing StringBuffer, StringBuilder, Formatter and StringJoiner

The StringBuffer, StringBuilder, Formatter and StringJoiner classes are Java SE utility classes that are primarily used for assembling strings from other information: The StringBuffer class has been present since Java 1.0, and provides a variety of methods for building and modifying a "buf...

BufferedReader

Introduction The BufferedReader class is a wrapper for other Reader classes that serves two main purposes: A BufferedReader provides buffering for the wrapped Reader. This allows an application to read characters one at a time without undue I/O overheads. A BufferedReader provides functi...

Managing buffers

You can use buffers to work with multiple files. When you open a file using :e path/to/file it opens in a new buffer (the command means edit the file). New buffer that holds a temporary copy of the file. You can go to previous buffer with :bp[rev] and next buffer with :bn[ext]. You can go to a...

BufferBlock

(FIFO Queue: The data that comes in is the data that goes out) In short, BufferBlock provides an unbounded or bounded buffer for storing instances of T. You can “post” instances of T to the block, which cause the data being posted to be stored in a first-in-first-out (FIFO) order by the block. Yo...

Reading a file using Channel and Buffer

Channel uses a Buffer to read/write data. A buffer is a fixed sized container where we can write a block of data at once. Channel is a quite faster than stream-based I/O. To read data from a file using Channel we need to have the following steps- We need an instance of FileInputStream. FileInput...

Files and buffers

In Emacs, file has the same meaning as in the operating system, and is used for permanent storage of data. A buffer is the internal representation of a file being edited. Files can be read into buffers using C-x C-f, and buffers can be written to files using C-x C-s (save file at its current locatio...

Reading a file using BufferedInputStream

Reading file using a BufferedInputStream generally faster than FileInputStream because it maintains an internal buffer to store bytes read from the underlying input stream. import java.io.BufferedInputStream; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.IOException; public class FileReadin...

Hidden buffers

Moving away from a buffer with unsaved changes will cause this error: E37: No write since last change (add ! to override) You can disable this by adding set hidden to your .vimrc file. With this option set your changes will persist in the buffer, but will not be saved to disk.
