How many people use array-buffer-byte-length?
npm counted 122,006,421 downloads of array-buffer-byte-length in the last 7 days. Nobody can count people exactly, npm included: it does not record who downloaded what. After removing mirror spikes and crawlers, about 119M–122M look like real installs. At this scale most of them come from CI, builds and other packages that depend on array-buffer-byte-length, so the number of people behind them is far smaller.
Is array-buffer-byte-length still maintained?
Probably not actively: there has been no release in over a year, though that can also mean it is simply finished. The latest version, 1.0.2, came out on Dec 20, 2024. There were no stable releases in the last 12 months. It was first published on Feb 28, 2023. npm lists 1 maintainer.
Is array-buffer-byte-length still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are up 47% over 3 months and up 174% over 11 months. For scale, the median of the 384 packages we track, which lean towards today's most downloaded, is up 164% over 11 months, so this one is ahead of that. Last week, 100% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 1, the latest one; the most used single version was 1.0.2, with 97%. Weekdays get 1.6× the downloads of weekends, which fits people at work, though CI follows the same rhythm. Crawlers account for about 15,976,806 downloads a week, roughly 5,325,602 per version.
Monthly downloads of array-buffer-byte-length
The busiest month was Oct 2026, with about 15,698,828 downloads a day once publish spikes are removed; the quietest was Dec 2025 (the holiday season), with about 5,497,611.

Whole months through Oct 31, 2026. Publish spikes are found day by day and summed per month. Real installs apply this week's crawler share to each month's downloads (the upper end also keeps the removed spikes), so they follow npm's curve rather than measure it. The change compares spike-free downloads per day.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with a confidence level. It still includes CI and dependency installs, so it is not a count of people.
