Buffer is a Kotlin Multiplatform library for platform-agnostic byte buffer management. It delegates to native implementations on each platform to avoid memory copies:

• JVM/Android: java.nio.ByteBuffer (Direct buffers for zero-copy I/O)
• iOS/macOS: NSData / NSMutableData
• JavaScript: Uint8Array with SharedArrayBuffer support
• WASM/Native: ByteArray

• Zero-copy performance: Direct delegation to platform-native buffers
• Buffer pooling: High-performance buffer reuse for network I/O
• Stream processing: Handle fragmented data across chunk boundaries
• Android IPC: SharedMemory support for zero-copy inter-process communication

dependencies {
    implementation("com.ditchoom:buffer:<latest-version>")
}
