Transferable
The Transferable
interface represents an object that can be transfered between different execution contexts, like the main thread and Web workers.
This is an abstract interface and there isn't any object of this type. It also doesn't define any method or property: it is merely a tag indicating objects that can be used in specific conditions, like to be transfered to a Worker
using the Worker.postMessage()
method.
The ArrayBuffer
and MessagePort
implement it.
Properties

interface doesn't implement or inherit specific properties.
