ES2015 ArrayBuffers instead of node.js Buffers #52

Closed apowers313 closed 3 years ago

apowers313 commented 7 years ago

It would be nice if there were a way for the parser to generate ES2015 ArrayBuffers rather than node.js Buffers, for compatibility with APIs that will be consuming ArrayBuffers. Otherwise, it becomes necessary to recursively find and convert Buffers to ArrayBuffers.

Are you sure you want an ArrayBuffer, not a Uint8Array?

if anyone has a half-decent argument for ArrayBuffer, I'll change the patch. Waiting a few days before I land it.
