The JavaScript ArrayBuffer object is used to represent a generic, fixed-length raw binary data buffer. To manipulate the contents of an ArrayBuffer object we have to create a DataView object as we cannot manipulate the contents directly. We can read and write both using the DataView object.
Syntax
new ArrayBuffer(byteSize)
The byteSize parameter specifies the array buffer size in bytes that will be created.
Following is the code for ArrayBuffer() Object −
