returned object isn't a Uint8Array, (as stated in docs)

i spent some time trying to inflate a compressed binary file.

i took this from the docs…

      ungzip(data[, options])  Uint8Array|Array|String

to mean i could do this…

decompressed-data=new Float32Array( Ungzip(compressed-data))

that didn’t work, eventually figured i had to do this…

decompressed-data=new Float32Array( Ungzip(compressed-data).buffer)

ideally the original use would have worked, it would be a simpler, neater, interface, or if not possible then highlighted in the docs that whats returned isn’t actually an ‘real’ ArrayBuffer.

This is just how typed arrays work in js.

And documentation clearly states Uint8Array, not an ArrayBuffer.

[alexeyten]

your returned object has a property ‘buffer’, an ArrayBuffer, but (see above) Uint8Array’s require it be a property of an objects prototype

Nope. Please, familiarize yourself with JS and in particular with prototypes.
