A library to read/write AMF0 binary format

Install

Usage

const {readValue, writeValue} = require('@mediafish/amf0');


const buffer = Buffer.from([0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x61, 0x62, 0x63]);

// Read AMF0
let offset, value, array = [];
while(offset < buffer.length) {
  [offset, value] = readValue(buffer, offset);
  console.log(JSON.stringify(value, null, 4);
  array.push(value);
}

// Write AMF0
offset = 0;
for (const item of array) {
  // First, pass null instead of a buffer to detect how many bytes are needed
  offset = writeValue(null, offset, item);
}

// And then alloc a buff
const dest = Buffer.alloc(offset);
for (const item of array) {
  // Write data actually to the buffer
  offset = writeValue(dest, offset, item);
}
