At some point we’ll want to move this repo to Apache but you can browse this and other examples here [2] for the time being.

In JS, you can get a Blob and ArrayBuffer The rough equivalent to ByteArray in Royale is BinaryData which wraps ArrayBuffer and deals with the views and you can get that from a file. We’ve done work on abstracting those APIs. Yishay did the work on that, so he’ll have the best answer.
