# Node.js bytes (nbytes) library

The `nbytes` library extracts certain Node.js specific byte manipulation
functions from the core of Node.js itself and makes them available for
use in other projects that need to emulate Node.js' behavior.
src, deps: add nbytes library Projects that seek to implement Node.js compatible APIs end up needed to reproduce various bits of functionality internally in order to faithfully replicate the Node.js behaviors. This is particularly true for things like byte manipulation, base64 and hex encoding, and other low-level operations. This change proposes moving much of this low-level byte manipulation code out of nodejs/src and into a new `nbytes` library. Initially this new library will exist in the `deps` directory but the intent is to spin out a new separate repository to be its home in the future. Doing so will allow other projects to use the nbytes library with exactly the same implementation as Node.js. This commit moves only the byte swapping and legacy base64 handling code. Additional commits will move additional byte manipulation logic into the library.
