Files contain 8-bit integers. Different files make use of those 8-bit 
integers in different ways. Only you know what meaning to give to the 
8-bit integers in the file that you're reading.

If you have text data then you can skip the array and pass the encoding 
as an option:
let promise = OS.File.read(testFile, {encoding: "utf-8"});
The typed array is the best choice for binary data; was there some 
specific problem you were having with it?
