I initially tried using `Span<byte>` / `ReadOnlySpan<byte>` to reduce allocations and align with BCL-style patterns. However, this causes compiler issues in the current project setup. The async `ReadAsync`/`WriteAsync` overloads with `Span<byte>` / `ReadOnlySpan<byte>` cannot be used, producing errors like: * `No overload for method 'WriteAsync' takes 2 arguments` * `Cannot convert from 'Span<byte>' to 'Memory<byte>'` * `Feature 'ref and unsafe in async and iterator methods' is not available in C# 11.0` Because of this, I propose we **use `byte[]` for all Read/Write methods**, including the UTF methods. This approach is consistent with the existing synchronous Read/Write helpers. The **byte\[] approach works perfectly**, all tests have been run, and everything functions as expected. We can still include the updated UTF exception handling (`EncoderFallbackException` / `DecoderFallbackException`) as per BCL conventions. This ensures compatibility with the current codebase without causing any compiler issues. Any suggestion to solve issue or thoughts on this byte approach??, and I can finalize the changes accordingly. --- -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
