# Convert a ReadableStream to an ArrayBuffer

Bun provides a number of convenience functions for reading the contents of a [`ReadableStream`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream) into different formats.

```ts  theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
const stream = new ReadableStream();
const buf = await Bun.readableStreamToArrayBuffer(stream);
```
