  1. TypedArray DataView arr = new Uint32Array(buf) val = arr[1] dv

    = new DataView(buf) val = dv.getUint32(4) arr2 = new Int8Array(buf) val = arr2[0] val = dv.getInt8(0)
  2. new DataView(buf) .getUint16(0) var bytes = new Uint8Array(buf) bytes[0] =

    0x13 bytes[1] = 0x37 0x3713 0x1337 new Uint16Array(buf)[0] TypedArray DataView

  4. <input type=file> var file = input.files[0]; var reader = new

    FileReader(); reader.onload = function() { var arraybuffer = reader.result; var dv = new DataView(arraybuffer); console.log(dv.getUint32(0)); } reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
  5. var data = new Uint8Array(100); var blob = new Blob([data],

    {type:"application/octet-stream"}); var a = document.createElement("a"); a.download = "test.blob"; a.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob); a.click();
  6. <input type=file> var file = input.files[0]; var img = new

    Image(); img.src = URL.createObjectURL(file); document.body.appendChild(img);
  7. var blob = new Blob(["hello world"]); var form = new

    FormData(); form.append("file", blob); var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open("POST", "/form"); xhr.send(form); xhr.open("PUT", "/file"); xhr.send(blob);
  8. var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.responseType = "arraybuffer"; xhr.onload =
