This crate provides convenience methods for encoding and decoding numbers in either big-endian or little-endian order.

Documentation
Installation
This crate works with Cargo and is on
crates.io. Add it to your Cargo.toml
like so:
[dependencies]
byteorder = "1"
If you want to augment existing Read
and Write
traits, then import the
extension methods like so:
extern crate byteorder;
use byteorder::{ReadBytesExt, WriteBytesExt, BigEndian, LittleEndian};
For example:
use std::io::Cursor;
use byteorder::{BigEndian, ReadBytesExt};
let mut rdr = Cursor::new(vec![2, 5, 3, 0]);
// Note that we use type parameters to indicate which kind of byte order
// we want!
assert_eq!(517, rdr.read_u16::<BigEndian>().unwrap());
assert_eq!(768, rdr.read_u16::<BigEndian>().unwrap());
no_std
crates
This crate has a feature, std
, that is enabled by default. To use this crate
in a no_std
context, add the following to your Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
byteorder = { version = "1", default-features = false }
Alternatives
Note that as of Rust 1.32, the standard numeric types provide built-in methods
like to_le_bytes
and from_le_bytes
, which support some of the same use
cases.
