Specification https://www.w3.org/TR/FileAPI Design docs No information provided 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 Web Feature ID file Motivation Before this change developers could not access an ArrayBuffer directly and had to create a Uint8Array view, and some APIs returned different types which leading to inconsistency. To improve this, design principles have changed[1] in w3c tag side, so the spec was updated[2] accordingly. The new spec removes those hassles, and because WebKit, Firefox and Node.js already support it, bringing it to Chromium will improve interoperability as well.

Gecko: Shipped/Shipping (https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/128.0/releasenotes) WebKit: Shipped/Shipping (https://webkit.org/blog/15865/webkit-features-in-safari-18-0) Web developers: No signals Other signals: WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications? No information provided Debuggability No information provided Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)? Yes All Blob APIs are exposed and platform-independent, and the bytes() API is also supported on all platforms. Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests? Yes https://wpt.fyi/results/FileAPI/Blob-methods-from-detached-frame.html https://wpt.fyi/results/FileAPI/blob/Blob-bytes.any.html https://wpt.fyi/results/FileAPI/blob/Blob-bytes.any.worker.html Flag name on about://flags No information provided Finch feature name No information provided Non-finch justification No information provided Rollout plan Will ship enabled for all users Requires code in //chrome? False Estimated milestones No milestones specified Anticipated spec changes Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
