      Summary

      When using the raw flag the Uint8Arrays returned are backed by nodejs' pooled buffer, if the buffer's lifetime is beyond that of passing it along to some sort of serialization this could have unexpected consequences. It should be documented at least, or possible changed by the raw configuration.

      • We should document this behavior on the raw flag
      • Consider making dedicated allocations if the user desires raw results:
