Both JS and Python use binary for data manipulation and storage, but the binary output differs in the following ways:

  1. JS uses typed arrays to manipulate binary data, whereas Python uses the struct module. Typed arrays allow you to work with binary data as if it were an array of integers or floats, while struct allows you to pack and unpack binary data into Python objects.

  2. JS uses little-endian byte ordering by default, while Python uses native byte ordering. This means that the byte order of the binary output will be different in JS and Python.

  3. JS has built-in functions to convert binary data to and from hexadecimal and base64 formats. In Python, you need to import external libraries such as binascii or base64 to perform these conversions.

  4. JS supports both synchronous and asynchronous binary operations, while Python mainly supports synchronous binary operations.

Overall, the way binary output is handled in JS and Python differs in terms of the modules, byte-ordering, and supported operations.
