+### Why Uint8Array?
+
+Uint8Array is compatible with [Node.js Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer) which makes it widely compatible with existing JavaScript code.

 ### Why not ArrayBuffer?
 
 ArrayBuffers cannot be read from directly; the developer must create a view, such as a Uint8Array, to read data. Providing a Uint8Array avoids that additional effort.
