+# BUFFER
+
+`BUFFER` is a convenience library for working with strings in `C`.
+Mainly, `BUFFER`s eliminate the need for tracking the string length, thus providing
+a safe alternative for string operations.
+
+Also, they are super fast in printing and appending data to the string and its `buffer_strlen()`
+is just a lookup (it does not traverse the string).
+
+Netdata uses `BUFFER`s for preparing web responses and buffering data to be sent upstream or
+to external databases.
