node index.js

Output:

<Buffer ff 0d 49 ae 5a>

Example 2: Filename: index.js

// Accessing v8 module
const v8 = require('v8');
const serializer = new v8.Serializer();

// Calling v8.serializer.writeRawBytes()
console.log(serializer.releaseBuffer());

// User defined Function
function writeRawData(data) {
    serializer.writeRawBytes(v8.serialize(data));
    console.log("" + serializer.releaseBuffer());
}

// Function Call
writeRawData("GeeksforGeeks");
