Getting started

After you've imported the library with

import 'package:duffer/duffer.dart';

You can creates buffers via the Unpooled and Pooled utility classes and just write to it and read from it

var buffer = Unpooled.buffer();
buffer.writeLPString("Hello World!");
buffer.writeInt32(42);

print(buffer.readLPString()); // Hello World!
print(buffer.readInt32()); // 42

or parse existing data via one of the various extension functions.

var buffer1 = "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=".parseBase64();
var buffer2 = "0000000b48656c6c6f20576f726c64".parseHex();

You can also encode your buffer using base64 or hex.

print(buffer.hex);
print(buffer.base64);

For more samples just have a look at the examples folder.
