Examples

var allocUnsafe = require( '@stdlib/buffer/alloc-unsafe' );
var randint = require( '@stdlib/random/base/discrete-uniform' );
var toJSON = require( '@stdlib/buffer/to-json' );

var buf;
var i;

buf = allocUnsafe( 100 );
for ( i = 0; i < buf.length; i++ ) {
    buf[ i ] = randint( 0, 255 );
}

console.log( toJSON( buf ) );
