    Returns:
    
    The shared, generally preferred allocator.
  - onHeapAllocator
```
public static BufferAllocator onHeapAllocator()
```
    Get the shared on-heap allocator. This allocator always allocates on-heap buffers, and is either pooled, or unpooled.
    
    Returns:
    
    The shared on-heap allocator.
  - offHeapAllocator
```
public static BufferAllocator offHeapAllocator()
```
    Get the shared off-heap allocator. This allocator always allocates off-heap buffers, and is either pooled, or unpooled.
    
    Returns:
    
    The shared off-heap allocator.
