Classes
`Buffer`	Source Code`shared abstract Buffer<Element>` Represents a memory buffer that can be read and written to with no allocation. The easiest way to get an idea of what a buffer is, is that it consists in an array of a given `Buffer.capacity`, a `Buffer.position` index within the array, and a `Buffer.limit` index. Typical operations on a buffer will be to fill it, which you do with `Buffer.put()` until you reach the `Buffer.limit`. Then if you want to read the data you just put in the buffer, you `Buffer.flip()` the buffer, which will set its `Buffer.limit` to the current `Buffer.position`, and reset its `Buffer.position` to `0`. This essentially means that you will be able to read from the beginning of the buffer until the last object you `Buffer.put()` in it when writing. You can then start calling `Buffer.get()` to read objects from this buffer until you reach its `Buffer.limit`. Once you are done reading from the buffer, you can `Buffer.clear()` the buffer to start writing to it again. That will reset the `Buffer.position` to `0` and the `Buffer.limit` to the `Buffer.capacity`, allowing you to write to the full underlying array. Buffers can be resized (grown and expanded), which will cause an underlying array reallocation and copy.
`ByteBuffer`	Source Code`shared ByteBuffer` Represents a buffer of `Byte`s (from 0 to 255 inclusive, unsigned).
`CharacterBuffer`	Source Code`shared CharacterBuffer` Represents a buffer of `Character`s.

Buffer

Source Codeshared abstract Buffer<Element>

Represents a memory buffer that can be read and written to with no allocation. The easiest way to get an idea of what a buffer is, is that it consists in an array of a given Buffer.capacity, a Buffer.position index within the array, and a Buffer.limit index.

Typical operations on a buffer will be to fill it, which you do with Buffer.put() until you reach the Buffer.limit.

Then if you want to read the data you just put in the buffer, you Buffer.flip() the buffer, which will set its Buffer.limit to the current Buffer.position, and reset its Buffer.position to 0. This essentially means that you will be able to read from the beginning of the buffer until the last object you Buffer.put() in it when writing.

You can then start calling Buffer.get() to read objects from this buffer until you reach its Buffer.limit.

Once you are done reading from the buffer, you can Buffer.clear() the buffer to start writing to it again. That will reset the Buffer.position to 0 and the Buffer.limit to the Buffer.capacity, allowing you to write to the full underlying array.

Buffers can be resized (grown and expanded), which will cause an underlying array reallocation and copy.

ByteBuffer

Source Codeshared ByteBuffer

Represents a buffer of Bytes (from 0 to 255 inclusive, unsigned).
