How can I improve the performance of Node.js buffers?

How can I improve the performance of Node.js buffers?

To improve Node.js buffer performance, consider using Buffer.alloc() for pre-allocated buffers and avoid using Buffer.concat() excessively.

What are the differences between Buffer.from() and Buffer.alloc()?

Buffer.from() creates a buffer from existing data, while Buffer.alloc() creates a buffer of a specified size initialized to zero.

Are there any performance benchmarks for using buffers in Node.js?

Yes, benchmarks show that using pre-allocated buffers with Buffer.alloc() can significantly reduce memory overhead and improve performance.

Can I use typed arrays instead of buffers?

Yes, typed arrays can be more efficient for certain operations, especially when dealing with binary data.
