The isarray package is used to check if a given value is an Array. It does not specifically check for TypedArrays, but it is similar in the sense that it is used to determine the type of a collection.
The is-buffer package checks if an object is a Node.js Buffer, which is a way to handle binary data similar to TypedArrays. While it does not check for TypedArrays specifically, it serves a similar purpose in type checking for binary data containers.
This package converts a TypedArray to a Node.js Buffer without copying the underlying memory. While it does not provide type checking functionality, it operates on TypedArrays and provides a utility that is often used in conjunction with type checking.
