- What is Node?

The Node environment comprises everything you need to run a program written in JavaScript(JS).

Node.js first started when the original developers of JS extended its functionalities from something you could only run in the browser to something you could execute on your computer as a independent application.

Now you can do much more with JavaScript than just creating interactive websites and web apps. Modern JavaScript has the same capabilites as other scripting languages like Python, and therefore it can do the same as these.

Both your browser's JavaScript and Node.js environment run on the V8 JavaScript runtime engine. This engine takes your JS code and converts it into a much faster machine code (machine code is a low level code that the computer can execute without needing to first interpret it).

- Translation Overwiew

In this part I translated part of the guides related to the Buffer functionalities, more focused on the Class Buffer building commands and the relationships between the Buffer class and the TypedArrays. The guides are also related with the encoding standards used among JS.

- Examples sentences in Spanish:

• This means that while doing something like <0>http.get()</0>, if the returned charset is one of those listed in the WHATWG specification it is possible that the server actually returned <0>'win-1252'</0>-encoded data, and using <0>'latin1'</0> encoding may incorrectly decode the characters.

  • Esto significa que al hacer algo como http.get(), si el conjunto de caracteres devueltos es uno de los enumerados en las especificaciones de WHATWG, es posible que el servidor realmente devolviera los datos codificados en 'win-1252', y utilizar la codificación 'latin1' puede decodificar incorrectamente los caracteres.

• Specifically, the [<0>TypedArray</0>] variants accept a second argument that is a mapping function that is invoked on every element of the typed array:

  • Específicamente, las variantes de [TypedArray] aceptan un segundo argumento que es una función de mapeo que se invoca sobre cada elemento del arreglo escrito:

• Note that when creating a <0>Buffer</0> using a [<0>TypedArray</0>]'s <0>.buffer</0>, it is possible to use only a portion of the underlying [<0>ArrayBuffer</0>] by passing in <0>byteOffset</0> and <0>length</0> parameters.

  • Tenga en cuenta que cuando se crea un Buffer utilizando un .buffer de [TypedArray] es posible utilizar solo una parte del [ArrayBuffer] subyacente al pasar los parámetros byteOffset y length.
