Is there a built-in way to convert Javascript's Float64Array to a normal array?

Use this:

var normalArray = [].slice.call(floatArray);

Demo:

var floatArray = new Float64Array(4);
floatArray[3] = 3.0;
var normalArray = [].slice.call(floatArray);
console.log(normalArray);
//[0, 0, 0, 3]

It's nicer with a prototype... check my answer :D

The original answer is quite old. A more recent way to do it (ES6+) could be to use Array.from

const floatArray = new Float64Array(4);
floatArray[3] = 3.0;
var normalArray = Array.from(floatArray);
console.log(normalArray);

Float64Array.prototype.toArray = Array.prototype.slice;
const floatArray = new Float64Array(4);
floatArray[3] = 3.0125;
var normalArray = floatArray.toArray();
console.log(normalArray);
