BinaryEncoding

BinaryEncoding simplifies the encoding of numbers to BigEndian, LittleEndian and Varint to byte arrays.

API

To set values to an array of bytes:

Binary.BigEndian.Set(bytes, offset, value);
Binary.LittleEndian.Set(bytes, offset, value);
Binary.Varint.Write(bytes, offset, value);

Extension methods are provided for retrieving the bytes:

Binary.BigEndian.GetBytes(value);
Binary.LittleEndian.GetBytes(value);
Binary.Varint.GetBytes(value);

Also, for converting bytes to numbers:

Binary.BigEndian.GetInt16(bytes, offset);
Binary.BigEndian.GetInt32(bytes, offset);
Binary.BigEndian.GetInt64(bytes, offset);
Binary.BigEndian.GetUInt16(bytes, offset);
Binary.BigEndian.GetUInt32(bytes, offset);
Binary.BigEndian.GetUInt64(bytes, offset);
Binary.LittleEndian.GetInt16(bytes, offset);
Binary.LittleEndian.GetInt32(bytes, offset);
Binary.LittleEndian.GetInt64(bytes, offset);
Binary.LittleEndian.GetUInt16(bytes, offset);
Binary.LittleEndian.GetUInt32(bytes, offset);
Binary.LittleEndian.GetUInt64(bytes, offset);

// varint, returns number of bytes consumed
// value can be short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong
Binary.Varint.Read(bytes, out value);
