Safer-buffer is a polyfill that provides a “modern” Buffer API for Node.js, targeting compatibility from older Node.js versions (0.8) up to current. It is useful when you need to port code to Buffer.alloc and Buffer.from while still running on outdated Node.js, using require('safer-buffer').Buffer in the files that call the new API.
