is-buffer (original) (raw)

is-buffer

Determine if an object is a Buffer (including the browserify Buffer)

Why not use Buffer.isBuffer?

This module lets you check if an object is a Buffer without using Buffer.isBuffer (which includes the whole buffer module in browserify).

It's future-proof and works in node too!
