Answer 1

You can use the following in environments that support Array.from already (ES6)

var array = Array.from(uint8Array)

When that is not supported you can use

var array = [].slice.call(uint8Array)

Answer 2

There is a method of Uint8Array using the prototype (but it only supported by Firefox and Chrome):

TypedArray.prototype.entries() --> it returns a array.
