### "[Action Message Format][AMF]" read() and write() functions for Buffers
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/TooTallNate/node-amf.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/TooTallNate/node-amf)

This module reads and writes AMF ([Action Message Format][AMF], commonly used
with Adobe products) data types to/from node.js `Buffer` instances.

For example, the [FLV][node-flv] container format by Adobe encodes its "metadata"
packets with AMF data. This module can decode those packets back into JavaScript
values.

Installation
------------

Install through npm:

``` bash
$ npm install amf
```


Example
-------

Here's an example of reading an ECMA Object from a Buffer:

``` javascript
var amf = require('amf');

// this is an AMF-encoded Object...
var data = new Buffer('03 00 03 66 6f 6f 02 00 03 62 61 72 00 00 09'.replace(/ /g, ''), 'hex');

// read the Object out from the Buffer
var obj = amf.read(data, 0);

console.log(obj);
// { foo: 'bar' }
```
