pack / unpack functions for node.js

rated 0 times [ 88] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 30247 / 13 Years ago, sat, april 9, 2011, 12:00:00

Are there any modules that provide pack / unpack functionality for nodejs similar to python's struct module? I haven't found any specifically for node, and I'd assume that javascript implementations would be significantly slower.

Thanks.

https://github.com/pgriess/node-jspack appears to be a straight-up port of Python's struct API for packing binary data, but it's implemented in JS. It doesn't appear to be packaged for npm yet.

https://github.com/substack/node-binary provides unpacking, also implemented in JS, and you can install it with npm install binary if you have npm installed.
