Structured Data Validation using ArrayBuffer and DataView for Binary Route Handlers
Parsing raw incoming binary request bodies in Next.js Route Handlers using DataView allows explicit endianness control and strict validation of magic headers before byte array manipulation.

Breakdown
1
if (!(buffer instanceof ArrayBuffer) || buffer.byteLength < 8) {
Guards against structural buffer underflows and invalid container types.
2
const magic = view.getUint32(0, false);
Reads a 32-bit big-endian unsigned integer from byte offset zero.
3
if (magic !== 0x4E455854) {
Validates the custom magic number signature (ASCII representation of NEXT) to block corrupt payloads.
