which-istypedarray

check if [a] an array or [b] is an typed array or [c] an buffer array or [d] specific type using the package and browser compatible

• check if [a] an array or [b] is an typed array or [c] an buffer array or [d] specific type using isTypedArray
• check if a buffer is typed array pattern like using the isTypedArrayUsingPattern
• check if a an object provided is buffer using isBufferLike
• check if a environment supports supportsArrayBuffer, supportsDataView, nativeIsArrayBufferView,
• check if a object is inbuilt object or is of specific type like String, Number, Date, RegExp, Error, Symbol, ArrayBuffer, Function , DataView, Object using toString method
• convert to BufferView using toBufferView
• get predefined key/ property value of an object using the getShallowProperty

Demos can be found in demos folder
