#### Determine if an object is a [`Buffer`](http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html) (including the [browserify Buffer](https://github.com/feross/buffer))

## Why not use `Buffer.isBuffer`?
This module lets you check if an object is a `Buffer` without using `Buffer.isBuffer` (which includes the whole [buffer](https://github.com/feross/buffer) module in [browserify](http://browserify.org/)).
It's future-proof and works in node too!
## install
```bash
npm install is-buffer
```

isBuffer('') // false
isBuffer(true) // false
isBuffer(false) // false
isBuffer(0) // false
isBuffer(1) // false
isBuffer(1.0) // false
isBuffer('string') // false
