Top answer is the simplest way to do it.

An alternative method:

data = Buffer.from([0x62, 0x75, 0x66, 0x66, 0x65, 0x72]);

Array.prototype.map.call(new Uint8Array(data),
               x => ('00' + x.toString(16)).slice(-2))
        .join('').match(/[a-fA-F0-9]{2}/g).reverse().join('');

Here are several methods for encoding an ArrayBuffer to hex, in order of speed. All methods were tested in Firefox initially, but afterwards I went and tested in Chrome (V8). In Chrome the methods were mostly in the same order but it did have slight differenences--the important thing is that #1 is the fastest method in all environments by a huge margin.

If you want to see how slow the currently selected answer is, you can go ahead and scroll to the bottom of this list.

TL;DR

Method #1 (just below this) is the fastest method I tested for encoding to a hex string. If, for some very good reason, you need to support IE, you may need to replace the .padStart call with the .slice trick used in method #6 when precomputing the hex octets to make sure every octet is 2 characters.

1. Precomputed Hex Octets w/ for Loop (Fastest/Baseline)

This approach computes the 2-character hex octets for every possible value of an unsigned byte: [0, 255], and then just maps each value in the ArrayBuffer through the array of octet strings. Credit to Aaron Watters for the original answer using this method.

NOTE: as mentioned by Cref, you may get a performance boost in V8 (Chromium/Chrome/Edge/Brave/etc.) by using the loop to just concatenate hex octets into one big string as you go and then returning the string after the loop. V8 seems to optimize string concatenation very well while Firefox performed better with building up an array and then .joining it into a string at the end as I did in the code below. That would probably be a micro-optimization subject to change with the whims of optimizing JS compilers though..

const byteToHex = [];

for (let n = 0; n <= 0xff; ++n)
{
    const hexOctet = n.toString(16).padStart(2, "0");
    byteToHex.push(hexOctet);
}

function hex(arrayBuffer)
{
    const buff = new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer);
    const hexOctets = []; // new Array(buff.length) is even faster (preallocates necessary array size), then use hexOctets[i] instead of .push()

    for (let i = 0; i < buff.length; ++i)
        hexOctets.push(byteToHex[buff[i]]);

    return hexOctets.join("");
}

2. Precomputed Hex Octets w/ Array.map (~30% slower)

Same as the above method, where we precompute an array in which the value for each index is the hex string for the index's value, but we use a hack where we call the Array prototype's map() method with the buffer. This is a more functional approach, but if you really want speed you will always use for loops rather than ES6 array methods, as all modern JS engines optimize them much better.

IMPORTANT: You cannot use new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer).map(...). Although Uint8Array implements the ArrayLike interface, its map method will return another Uint8Array which cannot contain strings (hex octets in our case), hence the Array prototype hack.

function hex(arrayBuffer)
{
    return Array.prototype.map.call(
        new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer),
        n => byteToHex[n]
    ).join("");
}

3. Precomputed ASCII Character Codes (~230% slower)

Well this was a disappointing experiment. I wrote up this function because I thought it would be even faster than Aaron's precomputed hex octets--boy was I wrong LOL. While Aaron maps entire bytes to their corresponding 2-character hex codes, this solution uses bitshifting to get the hex character for the first 4 bits in each byte and then the one for the last 4 and uses String.fromCharCode(). Honestly I think String.fromCharCode() must just be poorly optimized, since it is not used by very many people and is low on browser vendors' lists of priorities.

const asciiCodes = new Uint8Array(
    Array.prototype.map.call(
        "0123456789abcdef",
        char => char.charCodeAt()
    )
);

function hex(arrayBuffer)
{
    const buff = new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer);
    const charCodes = new Uint8Array(buff.length * 2);

    for (let i = 0; i < buff.length; ++i)
    {
        charCodes[i * 2] = asciiCodes[buff[i] >>> 4];
        charCodes[i * 2 + 1] = asciiCodes[buff[i] & 0xf];
    }

    return String.fromCharCode(...charCodes);
}

4. Array.prototype.map() w/ padStart() (~290% slower)

This method maps an array of bytes using the Number.toString() method to get the hex and then padding the octet with a "0" if necessary via the String.padStart() method.

IMPORTANT: String.padStart() is a relative new standard, so you should not use this or method #5 if you are planning on supporting browsers older than 2017 or so or Internet Explorer. TBH if your users are still using IE you should probably just go to their houses at this point and install Chrome/Firefox. Do us all a favor. :^D

function hex(arrayBuffer)
{
    return Array.prototype.map.call(
        new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer),
        n => n.toString(16).padStart(2, "0")
    ).join("");
}

5. Array.from().map() w/ padStart() (~370% slower)

This is the same as #4 but instead of the Array prototype hack, we create an actual number array from the Uint8Array and call map() on that directly. We pay in speed though.

function hex(arrayBuffer)
{
    return Array.from(new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer))
        .map(n => n.toString(16).padStart(2, "0"))
        .join("");
}

6. Array.prototype.map() w/ slice() (~450% slower)

This is the selected answer, do not use this unless you are a typical web developer and performance makes you uneasy (answer #1 is supported by just as many browsers).

function hex(arrayBuffer)
{
    return Array.prototype.map.call(
        new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer),
        n => ("0" + n.toString(16)).slice(-2)
    ).join("");
}

Lesson #1

Precomputing stuff can be a very effective memory-for-speed tradeoff sometimes. In theory, the array of precomputed hex octets can be stored in just 1024 bytes (256 possible hex values ⨉ 2 characters/value ⨉ 2 bytes/character for a UTF-16 string representation used by most/all browsers), which is nothing in a modern computer. Realistically there are some more bytes in there used for storing the array and string lengths and maybe type information since this is JavaScript, but the memory usage is still negligible for a massive performance improvement.

Lesson #2

Help out the optimizing compiler. The browser's JavaScript compiler regularly attempts to understand your code and break it down to the fastest possible machine code for your CPU to execute. Because JavaScript is a very dynamic language, this can be hard to do and sometimes the browser just gives up and leaves all sorts of type checks and worse under-the-hood because it can't be sure that x will indeed be a string or number, and vice versa. Using modern functional programming additions like the .map method of the built-in Array class can cause headaches for the browser because callback functions can capture outside variables and do all sorts of other things that often hurt performance. For-loops are well-studied and relatively simple constructs, so the browser developers have incorporated all sorts of tricks for the compiler to optimize your JavaScript for-loops. Keep it simple.

For whoever getting the warning Invalid number of arguments, expected 0 with the solution proposed by @TwistedOwl, here a solution to get rid of the warning:

Buffer.from(b).toString('hex');

If you have an existing Buffer object, you can represent it as hex via:

myBuffer.toString('hex')
// '970e331a2e340597636b26bc8ab44c386cd687d57d86698b81ecce9d43010c0c'
