Using JavaScript to display a Blob

by

You can also get BLOB object directly from XMLHttpRequest. Setting responseType to blob makes the trick. Here is my code:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", "http://localhost/image.jpg");
xhr.responseType = "blob";
xhr.onload = response;
xhr.send();

And the response function looks like this:

function response(e) {
   var urlCreator = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
   var imageUrl = urlCreator.createObjectURL(this.response);
   document.querySelector("#image").src = imageUrl;
}

We just have to make an empty image element in HTML:

<img id="image"/>
