## Usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var toJSON = require( '@stdlib/buffer/to-json' );
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### toJSON( buffer )
|
|
|
|
Returns a [JSON][json] representation of a [`Buffer`][@stdlib/buffer/ctor].
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var array2buffer = require( '@stdlib/buffer/from-array' );
|
|
|
|
var buf = array2buffer( [ 1, 2 ] );
|
|
|
|
var json = toJSON( buf );
|
|
/* returns
|
|
{
|
|
'type': 'Buffer',
|
|
'data': [ 1, 2 ]
|
|
}
|
|
*/
|
|
```
|
