7
+ - [#2577](https://github.com/JSPrismarine/JSPrismarine/pull/2577) [`6b60a88`](https://github.com/JSPrismarine/JSPrismarine/commit/6b60a88e40ad9751ea177f4273779869486de7e0) Thanks [@filiphsps](https://github.com/filiphsps)! - Move JSBinaryUtils into the monorepo as `@jsprismarine/binaryutils`.
8
+
9
+ It was developed in its own repository and consumed here as a pinned npm dependency, which meant a
10
+ change to the binary stream needed a release there before it could be used here. It now lives in
11
+ `packages/binaryutils` and every consumer resolves it through the workspace, so it builds, typechecks
12
+ and tests together with the packages that use it.
13
+
14
+ The published name changes: `@jsprismarine/jsbinaryutils` is deprecated on npm and its last release
15
+ re-exports this package, so existing installs keep working. The API is unchanged.
16
+
17
+ Two things came along with the jump from the pinned 5.5.3 to current: `write()` accepted a
18
+ `Uint8Array` in its signature but called `Buffer#copy` on it, so anything not already a `Buffer`
19
+ threw at runtime — it now uses `set`. And the single internal `buffer` field is split into a read and
20
+ a write buffer, so code reaching past the public API to assign `.buffer` no longer populates the read
21
+ side; use `setReadBuffer()`.
22
+
23
+ `@jsprismarine/protocol` also gained the dependency in its manifest — it imported the package while
24
+ relying on it being hoisted into the root `node_modules`.

104
+ 2.2. Effective Date

+ distributes such Contribution.
109
+
110
+ 2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
111
+
112
+ The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
113
+ this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
114
+ distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
115
+ Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
116
+ Contributor:

127
+ its Contributions.
128

129
+ This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
130
+ or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
131
+ the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
132
+
133
+ 2.4. Subsequent Licenses

144
+ to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
145
+
146
+ 2.6. Fair Use
147
+
148

151
+
152
+ 2.7. Conditions
153
+
154
+ Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted

156
+
157
+ 3. Responsibilities
158
+ -------------------
159
+
160
+ 3.1. Distribution of Source Form
161
+
162
+ All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
163
+ Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
164
+ the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
165
+ Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
166
+ License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
167
+ attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
168
+ Form.
169
+
170
+ 3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
171
+
172
+ If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
173
+
174
+ (a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
175
+ Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
176
+ the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
177
+ Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
178
+ than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
179
+
180
+ (b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
181
+ License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
182
+ license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
183
+ the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
184
+
185
+ 3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
186
+
187
+ You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
188
+ provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
189
+ the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
190
+ Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
191
+ Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
192
+ License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
193
+ under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
194
+ the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
195
+ Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
196
+ License(s).
197
+
198
+ 3.4. Notices
199
+
200
+ You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
201
+ (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
202
+ or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
203
+ the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
204
+ the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
205
+
206
+ 3.5. Application of Additional Terms
207
+
208
+ You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
209
+ indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
210
+ Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
211
+ behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
212
+ such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
213
+ You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
214
+ liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
215
+ indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
216
+ disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
217
+ jurisdiction.
218
+
219
+ 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
220
+ ---------------------------------------------------
221
+
222
+ If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
223
+ License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
224
+ statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
225
+ the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
226
+ describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
227
+ be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
228
+ Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
229
+ or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
230
+ recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
231
+
232
+ 5. Termination
233
+ --------------
234
+
235
+ 5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
236
+ if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
237
+ compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
238
+ Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
239
+ Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
240
+ ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
241
+ non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
242
+ come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
243
+ Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
244
+ notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
245
+ first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
246
+ from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
247
+ Your receipt of the notice.
248
+
249
+ 5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
250
+ infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
251
+ counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
252
+ directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
253
+ You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
254
+ 2.1 of this License shall terminate.
255
+
256
+ 5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
257
+ end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
258
+ have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
259
+ prior to termination shall survive termination.

264
+ * ------------------------- *
265

+ # @jsprismarine/binaryutils
7
+
8
+ A high-performance TypeScript library for binary data manipulation in Node.js applications. `@jsprismarine/binaryutils` provides efficient buffer management without the overhead of repeated allocations, making it ideal for real-time applications and network protocols.
9
+
10
+ ## Features
11
+
12
+ - **Zero-copy operations** - Optimized buffer management with automatic capacity growth
13
+ - **Comprehensive API** - Read/write support for all standard binary data types
14
+ - **Variable-length encoding** - Built-in VarInt and VarLong support
15
+ - **Endianness control** - Big-endian and little-endian operations
16
+ - **Type-safe** - Full TypeScript support with type definitions
17
+ - **Well-tested** - Extensive test coverage
18
+
19
+ ## Installation
20
+
21
+ ```bash
22
+ npm install @jsprismarine/binaryutils
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ > **Renamed from `@jsprismarine/jsbinaryutils`.** The package used to live in its own repository and
26
+ > was published under that name; it now develops here, inside the JSPrismarine monorepo. The old name
27
+ > is deprecated on npm and its last release re-exports this one, so existing installs keep working —
28
+ > but it receives no further changes. Switch the dependency and the import path; the API is unchanged.
29
+
30
+ ## Quick Start
31
+
32
+ ### Reading Binary Data
33
+
34
+ ```typescript
35
+ import BinaryStream from '@jsprismarine/binaryutils';
36
+
37
+ const buffer = Buffer.from([0xff, 0x00, 0x7f, 0x80]);
38
+ const stream = new BinaryStream(buffer);
39
+
40
+ const byte = stream.readByte(); // 255
41
+ const signed = stream.readSignedByte(); // 0
42
+ const short = stream.readShort(); // 32640
43
+ ```
44
+
45
+ ### Writing Binary Data
46
+
47
+ ```typescript
48
+ import BinaryStream from '@jsprismarine/binaryutils';
49
+
50
+ const stream = new BinaryStream();
51
+
52
+ stream.writeByte(255);
53
+ stream.writeShort(32640);
54
+ stream.writeVarInt(12345);
55
+
56
+ const result = stream.getWriteBuffer();
57
+ ```

+
101
+ ### Buffer Operations
102
+
103
+ - `read(length)` - Read raw bytes
104
+ - `write(buffer)` - Write raw bytes (accepts `Buffer` or `Uint8Array`)

106
+ - `readRemaining()` - Read all remaining bytes
107
+ - `getReadBuffer()` / `getWriteBuffer()` - Get underlying buffers

109
+ ### Stream Management
110
+
111
+ - `setReadBuffer(buffer, index?)` - Set read buffer
112
+ - `setWriteBuffer(buffer, index?)` - Set write buffer
113
+ - `getReadIndex()` / `setReadIndex(index)` - Manage read position
114
+ - `getWriteIndex()` / `setWriteIndex(index)` - Manage write position
115
+ - `clear()` - Reset stream
116
+ - `reuse(buffer)` - Reuse stream with new buffer
117
+ - `feof()` - Check end of buffer
118
+
119
+ ### Reuse & Zero-Allocation Encoding
120
+
121
+ - `new BinaryStream(buffer?, offset?, initialCapacity?)` - Pre-size the write buffer
122
+ - `reserve(capacity)` - Grow the write buffer up front, skipping the growth ladder
123
+ - `resetWrite()` - Rewind the write cursor, keeping the allocated capacity
124
+ - `copyOut()` - Encoded bytes as an exactly-sized standalone `Buffer`
125
+ - `copyInto(target, offset?)` - Copy into a caller-owned buffer, returns the new offset

132
+ ## Performance
133
+
134
+ `@jsprismarine/binaryutils` uses a dynamic buffer allocation strategy that minimizes memory overhead:
135
+
136
+ - Initial allocation: 256 bytes or required size
137
+ - Growth strategy: 2x current capacity when needed
138
+ - No intermediate allocations during writes
139
+
140
+ This approach significantly outperforms naive `Buffer.concat()` operations in high-throughput scenarios.
141
+
142
+ ### Encoding in bulk
143
+
144
+ The workload this library is built for is a server draining a send queue inside a tick budget, so
145
+ the benchmark (`pnpm --filter @jsprismarine/binaryutils run bench`) reports **packets encoded per
146
+ 10 ms window** — median _and_ worst window, because the worst window is what drops a tick.
147
+
148
+ Encoding a Bedrock-shaped movement packet on Node 24:
149
+
150
+ | strategy | packets / 10 ms | worst window | max GC pause |
151
+ | -------------------------------- | --------------: | -----------: | -----------: |
152
+ | a fresh stream per packet | 19,008 | 6,976 | 0.80 ms |
153
+ | reused stream + `copyInto` arena | 25,088 | 11,392 | 0.50 ms |
154
+
155
+ The fast path allocates nothing per packet:
156
+
157
+ ```typescript
158
+ const stream = new BinaryStream(undefined, 0, 4096); // pre-sized once
159
+ const arena = Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow(1 << 20);
160
+ let offset = 0;
161
+
162
+ for (const packet of queue) {
163
+ stream.resetWrite(); // keeps the capacity, no reallocation
164
+ encode(stream, packet);
165
+ offset = stream.copyInto(arena, offset);
166
+ }
167
+ ```
168
+
169
+ ### Buffers returned by `getWriteBuffer()` are views
170
+
171
+ `getWriteBuffer()` returns a _view_ over the stream's internal buffer, so it is only valid until
172
+ the next write — `resetWrite()`, `clear()` and `reuse()` all rewind the cursor without
173
+ reallocating, and the next packet silently overwrites whatever you were holding. It also keeps the
174
+ whole pooled 64 KB chunk it was carved from alive, so retaining scattered small packets can pin
175
+ megabytes.
176
+
177
+ If you queue, retain or resend the result, use `copyOut()` (standalone buffer) or `copyInto()`
178
+ (caller-owned arena) instead.
