This is a submission for DEV Challenge v24.03.20, One Byte Explainer: Browser API or Feature.
Explainer
Web Audio API: Allows audio manipulation and synthesis directly in the browser. Perfect for creating music apps, interactive games, or audio visualizations, it provides low-latency, high-quality audio processing, enhancing user engagement and creativity on the web.
Additional Context
Example usage of the Web Audio API: this code would in a file like index.js
const audioContext = new (window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext)();
async function loadAudio(url) {
const response = await fetch(url);
const arrayBuffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
const audioBuffer = await audioContext.decodeAudioData(arrayBuffer);
return audioBuffer;
}
async function playAudio(url) {
const audioBuffer = await loadAudio(url);
const source = audioContext.createBufferSource();
source.buffer = audioBuffer;
source.connect(audioContext.destination); // Connects to speakers
source.start(0); // Play immediately
}
const audioUrl = 'audio.mp3';
playAudio(audioUrl);
