https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17263 --- Comment #2 from Takashi Toyoshima <toyoshim@chromium.org> 2012-05-31 12:41:13 UTC --- If I understand correctly, a browser is not expected to convert ArrayBufferView to a binary frame in the network byte order or to transform into some platform independent structure. So there is no difference between ArrayBuffer and ArrayBufferView from the viewpoint of endian. I think major benefits to use ArrayBufferView is that we can send a part of ArrayBuffer without any extra copy. It is because subarray() can create a object which refer a part of the buffer with start and end offset information. I could not find authoritative information how TypedArray handle endian. At least, DataView has interfaces which required explicit endian indication and its default behavior is big endian. But, in my environment TypedArray works as little endian. I guess TypedArray depends on platform endian type, but it's good for use cases of TypedArray. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
