getAddress('0x1') get 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

  const providerContract = new web3.eth.Contract(
    addressProviderABI,
    providerAddress
  );

  providerContract.methods.getAddress("0x1").call()
  .then(address => {
    console.log("protocolDataProviderAddress: ", address);
  })
  .catch(err=> {
    console.error("getAddress Error: ", err);
  });

protocolDataProviderAddress: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Try providerContract.methods.getAddress("0x0100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000").call() instead

I see this kind of unintuitive because it expects different value than what documentation says.
In documentation

Each market has a separate Protocol Data Provider. To get the address for a particular market, call getAddress() using the value 0x1.

0x1 would rather equal to 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 padded 32 bytes right? Or am I missing something?

Most significant byte is usually on the left. Unless it is understood as a stream of bytes, then 01 00 00 00 makes sense. Is there some convention how bytes32 type should look like?
