Typed Arrays for PHP
====================

[](#typed-arrays-for-php)

[`ajf/typed-arrays`](https://packagist.org/packages/ajf/typed-arrays) is a Composer package which implements [ECMAScript Typed Arrays](http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-typedarray-objects) (previously a Khronos Group standard) for PHP 7.

Why would you want this? For reduced memory usage, of course!

What's supported

    - [`Uint8ClampedArray`](https://www.khronos.org/registry/typedarray/specs/latest/#7.1)
- [`DataView`](https://www.khronos.org/registry/typedarray/specs/latest/#8)

What's not (yet) supported

- [`Transferable`](https://www.khronos.org/registry/typedarray/specs/latest/#9) (useless in the context of PHP)
- 32-bit platforms
