| Node's `Buffer` class enables working with binary data in Javascript. A buffer allows a programme to store data temporarily outside the V8 engine's stack. |

| Though not entirely accurate we can think of a buffer as an array of bytes, each byte is represented by a hexadecimal digit. | ||
|
|
||
| The Node `Buffer` class is a global class and therefore does not need to be imported into a module. | ||

it'd be good to get some feedback on this and get it in as a placeholder at least
The topics are pretty big and could do with their own sections but also work well together so I'd like to cover both.
Basic enough at the moment but it'd be nice to get your ideas about what you'd like to see covered in here. I'm conscious that people like us are the audience for these docs so your feedback here would be great.
Thanks guys
