TypedArray

TypedArray describes an array-like view of an underlying binary data buffer (opens in a new tab). Using TypedArray allows you to share data between Node.js and Rust without copy or move data underlying.

Buffer

Buffer (opens in a new tab) is a subclass of JavaScript's Uint8Array (opens in a new tab). It is often used to share data between Node.js and Rust.

Buffer could be created with Vec<u8>, if you created Buffer in this way, the ownership of the Vec<8> will be transferred into the v8, and the Vec<u8> will be dropped when v8 GC the Buffer.
