JavaScript DataView()


The JavaScript DataView allows us for reading and writing in multiple number types in binary ArrayBuffer by providing a low level interface. We cannot manipulate ArrayBuffer directly without using DataView().

Following is the code for implementing JavaScript DataView −

      font-weight: 500;

</head>
<body>
<h1>JavaScript DataView()</h1>
<div class="sample"></div>
<button class="Btn">CLICK HERE</button>
<h3>
Click on the above button to change the array buffer contents using
DataView()
</h3>
<script>
   let fillEle = document.querySelector(".sample");
   var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(8);
   var view1 = new DataView(buffer);
   view1.setInt16(0, 0x2721);
   fillEle.innerHTML = view1.getInt16(0).toString(16);
   document.querySelector(".Btn").addEventListener("click", () => {
      fillEle.innerHTML = view1.getInt16(0).toString(2);
   });
</script>
</body>
</html>
