Specification
https://www.w3.org/TR/FileAPI


Design docs

https://w3c.github.io/FileAPI/#dom-blob-bytes


Summary

The bytes() method of the Blob interface returns a Promise that resolves with a 
Uint8Array containing the contents of the blob as an array of bytes.



Blink component
Blink>Storage>FileAPI


Motivation

Developers currently need to invoke the arrayBuffer method on a Blob and then 
convert the result into a Uint8Array whenever they want raw bytes. Blob.bytes 
collapses this two-step ritual into a single call, returning a Uint8Array. By 
removing the extra allocation and copy, it trims garbage-collection overhead 
and lowers latency when processing large blobs.
