A Uint8Array is a typed array class, meaning it is a mechanism for viewing data in an underlying ArrayBuffer. The following snippet creates a [DataView] instance over the same range of data as the Uint8Array.

const arr: Uint8Array = ...
const dv = new DataView(arr.buffer, arr.byteOffset, arr.byteLength);

See Docs > API > Binary Data for complete documentation on manipulating binary data with Bun.
