| The `responseType` property of the XMLHttpRequest object can be set to change the expected response type from the server. Possible values are the empty string (default), `"arraybuffer"`, `"blob"`, `"document"`, `"json"`, and `"text"`. The `response` property will contain the entity body according to `responseType`, as an `ArrayBuffer`, `Blob`, `Document`, `JSON`, or string. This is `null` if the request is not complete or was not successful. | |||

| This example reads an image as a binary file and creates an 8-bit unsigned integer array from the raw bytes. Note that this will not decode the image and read the pixels. You will need a [png decoding library](https://github.com/foliojs/png.js) for that. | |||

I wonder if we should replace this with a link to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ImageDecoder ?

I would omit this. We don't generally document obsolete technology on MDN.
