Script Preparation code:

function getRandomArbitrary(min, max) {
  return Math.random() * (max - min) + min;
}

for(let i = 0; i < 250000; i++) {

}

}

var stringy = JSON.stringify(intObj);

Tests:

JSON
let parsed = JSON.parse(stringy); let a; a = parsed;
dataview
let newView = new DataView(dv.buffer); let offset = 0; let count = newView.getInt32(offset); offset += 4; for(let i = 0; i < count; i++) { let value = newView.getInt32(offset); offset += 4; }
