Most used types

Name Description
Reader
BaseEndianReader The abstract base type that implements the IEndianReader interface.
EndianStreamReader Used for reading from streams, inherits the BaseEndianReader type.
Writer
EndianStreamWriter Used for writing into streams, inherits the BinaryWriter type and implements the IEndianWriter interface.

Reader and writer

var stream = new MemoryStream();
using var writer = new EndianStreamWriter(stream, keepStreamOpen: true);

writer.Write(10,  EndianType.BIG)
      .Write(20L, EndianType.BIG)
      .Write(30F, EndianType.BIG)
      .Write(40u, EndianType.BIG)
      .Write(50d, EndianType.BIG);
      
writer.BaseStream.Position = 0;

using var reader = new EndianStreamReader(stream);

_ = reader.ReadInt32(EndianType.BIG);
_ = reader.ReadInt64(EndianType.BIG);
_ = reader.ReadFloat(EndianType.BIG);
_ = reader.ReadUInt32(EndianType.BIG);
_ = reader.ReadDouble(EndianType.BIG);

Custom analyzer

The Analyzer abstract type can be inherited and used to monitor each buffer fill operation.

This is useful if a binary file is or has encrypted content.

Endian converter

The BinaryEndianConverter type can be used to convert data in a Span<byte> to all supported data types and also accepts an offset.

var buffer = new byte[] { ... };
int offset = ...;
var endianType = EndianType.BIG;

_ = BinaryEndianConverter.ToInt64(buffer, endianType);
_ = BinaryEndianConverter.ToInt64(buffer, offset, endianType);
