Data URI to Buffer Converter

This utility package provides a simple function to transform Data URI strings (RFC 2397) into ArrayBuffer objects, essential for processing embedded data like base64-encoded images or files in web applications. It supports Node.js environments >=14, making it ideal for server-side data manipulation without external dependencies.

Benefits include efficient memory usage with ArrayBuffers, direct compatibility with browser and Node APIs, and straightforward integration into larger workflows for data processing. It eliminates manual parsing errors common with regex-based approaches.

Use cases: Convert canvas data URIs to downloadable files, process webhook payloads with embedded images, integrate with image libraries like Sharp or Canvas, or handle file uploads in serverless functions. Perfect for n8n custom nodes or automation scripts needing buffer conversions.
