How to get binary string from ArrayBuffer?

问题:

What is the way to obtain binary string from ArrayBuffer in JavaScript?

I don't want to encode the bytes, just get the binary representation as String.

Thanks in advance!

回答1:

The following code will consistently convert an ArrayBuffer to a String and back again without losing or adding any additional bytes.

function ArrayBufferToString(buffer) {
    return BinaryToString(String.fromCharCode.apply(null, Array.prototype.slice.apply(new Uint8Array(buffer))));
}

function StringToArrayBuffer(string) {
    return StringToUint8Array(string).buffer;
}

function BinaryToString(binary) {
    var error;

    try {
        return decodeURIComponent(escape(binary));
    } catch (_error) {
        error = _error;
        if (error instanceof URIError) {
            return binary;
        } else {
            throw error;
        }
    }
}

function StringToBinary(string) {
    var chars, code, i, isUCS2, len, _i;

    len = string.length;
    chars = [];
    isUCS2 = false;
    for (i = _i = 0; 0 <= len ? _i < len : _i > len; i = 0 <= len ? ++_i : --_i) {
        code = String.prototype.charCodeAt.call(string, i);
        if (code > 255) {
            isUCS2 = true;
            chars = null;
            break;
        } else {
            chars.push(code);
        }
    }
    if (isUCS2 === true) {
        return unescape(encodeURIComponent(string));
    } else {
        return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, Array.prototype.slice.apply(chars));
    }
}

function StringToUint8Array(string) {
    var binary, binLen, buffer, chars, i, _i;
    binary = StringToBinary(string);
    binLen = binary.length;
    buffer = new ArrayBuffer(binLen);
    chars  = new Uint8Array(buffer);
    for (i = _i = 0; 0 <= binLen ? _i < binLen : _i > binLen; i = 0 <= binLen ? ++_i : --_i) {
        chars[i] = String.prototype.charCodeAt.call(binary, i);
    }
    return chars;
}

I tested it by round-tripping the following values in this jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/potatosalad/jrdLV/

(String) "abc" -> (ArrayBuffer) -> (String) "abc"
(String) "aΩc" -> (ArrayBuffer) -> (String) "aΩc"
(Uint8Array) [0,1,255] -> (ArrayBuffer) -> (String) -> (Uint8Array) [0,1,255]
(Uint16Array) [0,1,256,65535] -> (ArrayBuffer) -> (String) -> (Uint16Array) [0,1,256,65535]
(Uint32Array) [0,1,256,65536,4294967295] -> (ArrayBuffer) -> (String) -> (Uint32Array) [0,1,256,65536,4294967295]

This will give you a binary string from a typed array

var bitsPerByte = 8;
var array = new Uint8Array([0, 50, 100, 170, 200, 255]);
var string = "";

function repeat(str, num) {
    if (str.length === 0 || num <= 1) {
        if (num === 1) {
            return str;
        }

        return '';
    }

    var result = '',
        pattern = str;

    while (num > 0) {
        if (num & 1) {
            result += pattern;
        }

        num >>= 1;
        pattern += pattern;
    }

    return result;
}

function lpad(obj, str, num) {
    return repeat(str, num - obj.length) + obj;
}

Array.prototype.forEach.call(array, function (element) {
    string += lpad(element.toString(2), "0", bitsPerByte);
});

console.log(string);

Output is

000000000011001001100100101010101100100011111111

Or perhaps you are asking about this?

function ab2str(buf) {
    return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new Uint16Array(buf));
}

Note: that using apply in this manner means that you can hit the argument limitation (some 16000 elements or so), and then you will have to loop through the array elements instead.

function string2Bin(s) {
  var b = new Array();
  var last = s.length;
  for (var i = 0; i < last; i++) {
    var d = s.charCodeAt(i);
    if (d < 128)
      b[i] = dec2Bin(d);
    else {
      var c = s.charAt(i);
      alert(c + ' is NOT an ASCII character');
      b[i] = -1;
    }
  }
  return b;
}

function dec2Bin(d) {
  var b = '';
  for (var i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
    b = (d%2) + b;
    d = Math.floor(d/2);
  }
  return b;
}
