<div class="textblock"><p>The <code>PPB_VarArrayBuffer</code> interface provides a way to interact with JavaScript ArrayBuffers, which represent a contiguous sequence of bytes. </p>
<p>Use <code>PPB_Var</code> to manage the reference count for a <code>VarArrayBuffer</code>. Note that these Vars are not part of the embedding page's DOM, and can only be shared with JavaScript using the <code>PostMessage</code> and <code>HandleMessage</code> functions of <code>pp::Instance</code>. </p>
