which-typed-array is a small JavaScript utility that identifies what kind of Typed Array a given value is (for example, Int8Array, Float32Array, or BigInt64Array). It works across realms without using instanceof, and it still detects Typed Arrays even when Symbol.toStringTag is involved.

v1.1.16
v1.1.16 is a maintenance release that updates TypeScript typings, refines the CI Node.js test matrix, and refreshes several dev dependencies. The only user-facing change indicated by the repo documentation is an added TypeScript overload for whichTypedArray.
SecurityFeaturesv1.1.15
v1.1.15 updates TypeScript type definitions for `which-typed-array`, changing how typed array related types are exposed and how return types are inferred. It also bumps a few runtime dependencies and adjusts CI tooling, with no functional runtime JS logic changes evident from the provided diff.
v1.1.14
This release (v1.1.14) does not include publisher-provided release notes. The code diff shows the primary change is adding TypeScript support via a new index.d.ts file and introducing TypeScript type checking into the project tooling, alongside some dependency bumps.
Featuresv1.1.13
This release updates the package version to v1.1.13 with a small internal refactor in the typed array detection/caching logic. The release notes provided externally are empty, so the only stated changes come from the repo’s changelog entry.
v1.1.12
