Question

BLOB stands for ______________

(a) Binary Little Object

(b) Binary Large Object

(c) Broken Large Object

(d) Binary Small object

This question was addressed to me in homework.

This interesting question is from Blobs in JavaScript topic in division Caching, Debugging and Animation of JavaScript

Answer 1

Right option is (b) Binary Large Object

For explanation I would say: A Blob is an opaque reference to, or handle for, a chunk of data. The name comes from SQL databases, where it means “Binary Large Object.” In JavaScript, Blobs often represent binary data, and they can be large, but neither is required: a Blob could also represent the contents of a small text file.
