- What is Node?

The Node environment comprises everything you need to run a program written in JavaScript(JS).

Node.js first started when the original developers of JS extended its functionalities from something you could only run in the browser to something you could execute on your computer as a independent application.

Now you can do much more with JavaScript than just creating interactive websites and web apps. Modern JavaScript has the same capabilites as other scripting languages like Python, and therefore it can do the same as these.

Both your browser's JavaScript and Node.js environment run on the V8 JavaScript runtime engine. This engine takes your JS code and converts it into a much faster machine code (machine code is a low level code that the computer can execute without needing to first interpret it).

Contribution Specifications

- Translation Overwiew

In this section, my translation was again focused on the guides related to the Buffer functionalities, specifically on the Class Buffer building commands, its properties, its call methods and the allocation and Management of the system's memory for the Buffer. The documentation is also related with the encoding parameters and methods used on Node.js

- Examples sentences in Spanish:

• For example, when passed a reference to the <0>.buffer</0> property of a [<0>TypedArray</0>] instance, the newly created <0>Buffer</0> will share the same allocated memory as the [<0>TypedArray</0>].

  • Por ejemplo, cuando se pasa una referencia de la propiedad <0>.buffer</0> a una instancia [<0>TypedArray</0>], el<0>Buffer</0> creado recientemente compartirá la misma memoria asignada que el [<0>TypedArray</0>].

• This allows applications to avoid the garbage collection overhead of creating many individually allocated <0>Buffer</0> instances.

  • Esto permite a las aplicaciones evitar la sobrecarga de la recolección de basura que implica crear muchas instancias de <0>Buffer</0> asignadas individualmente.

• Copies data from a region of <0>buf</0> to a region in <0>target</0> even if the <0>target</0> memory region overlaps with <0>buf</0>.

  • Copia datos desde una región de buf a una región en target incluso si la región de la memoria de target se superpone con buf.
