The Buffer.readUInt16LE() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of class Buffer within the Buffer module which is used to read 16-bit value from an allocated buffer at a specified offset in Little Endian format. Syntax:

Buffer.readUInt16LE(offset)

Parameters: This method accept single parameter offset which specifies the number of bytes to skip before read or simply signify the index in the buffer. The value of offset lies 0 <= offset <= Buffer.length - 2. Its default value is 0. Return Value: This method returns an integer value that read from buffer in little endian format. Below examples illustrate the use of Buffer.readUInt16LE() method in Node.js: Example 1:

javascript

// Node program to demonstrate the  
// Buffer.readInt16LE() Method
 
// Allocating buffer from array
const buf = Buffer.from([0x21, 0x09, 0x19, 0x98]);

// Printing allocated buffer
console.log(buf);
 
// Reading 16bits data from the buffer
// and printing it as a string
console.log(buf.readUInt16LE(0).toString(16));
console.log(buf.readUInt16LE(1).toString(16));
console.log(buf.readUInt16LE(2).toString(16));

Output:

<Buffer 21 09 19 98>
921
1909
9819

Example 2:

javascript

// Node program to demonstrate the  
// Buffer.readInt16LE() Method
 
// Allocating buffer from array
const buf = Buffer.from([0x21, 0x09, 0x19, 0x98]);

// Printing allocated buffer
console.log(buf);
 
// Reading 16bits data from the buffer
// and printing it as a string
console.log(buf.readUInt16LE(0).toString(16));
console.log(buf.readUInt16BE(0).toString(16));
console.log(buf.readUInt16LE(1).toString(16));
console.log(buf.readUInt16BE(1).toString(16));
console.log(buf.readUInt16LE(2).toString(16));
console.log(buf.readUInt16BE(2).toString(16));

Output:

<Buffer 21 09 19 98>
921
2109
1909
919
9819
1998

Example 3:

javascript

// Node program to demonstrate the  
// Buffer.readInt16LE() Method
 
// Allocating buffer from array
const buf = Buffer.from([0x21, 0x09, 0x19, 0x98]);

// Printing allocated buffer
console.log(buf);
 
// Reading 16bits data from the buffer
// and printing it as a string
console.log(buf.readUInt16LE(0).toString(16));
console.log(buf.readUInt16LE(1).toString(16));
console.log(buf.readUInt16LE(2).toString(16));
 
// Wrong index is provoded to produce error
console.log(buf.readUInt16LE(3).toString(16));

Output:

<Buffer 21 09 19 98>
921
1909
9819
