Blob is an interface that represents a blob, which is a file-like object of immutable, raw data; they can be read as text or binary data, or converted into a
ReadableStream.
It’s the type of the data received on
WebSocket.onmessage when WebSocket.binaryType is set to "blob".
A Blob instance has the following methods/properties:
