## Why not use `Buffer.isBuffer`?
|
|
20
|
|
|
21
|
This module lets you check if an object is a `Buffer` without using `Buffer.isBuffer` (which includes the whole [buffer](https://github.com/feross/buffer) module in [browserify](http://browserify.org/)).

|
It's future-proof and works in node too!
