Receiving Websocket Arraybuffer Data In The Browser - Receiving String Instead

I have a node.js server application and a browser client. Sending ArrayBuffer data browser -> server works perfectly, but server -> browser results in a string '[object Array

Solution 1:

send binary data use sendBytes() method.

Solution 2:

I've been playing with websockets recently and at least this seems to work:

if(event.datainstanceofArrayBuffer)
{
  var wordarray = newUint16Array(event.data);
  for (var i = 0; i < wordarray.length; i++) 
  {
    console.log(wordarray[i]);
    wordarray[i]=wordarray[i]+1;
  }
  console.log("End of binary message");  
  console.log("sending changes");  
  ws.send(wordarray.buffer);
}

Basically I'm just creating a new array based on event.data
