lib.rs:

This crate defines a buffer data structure optimized to be written to and read from standard Vecs. DataBuffer is particularly useful when dealing with data whose type is determined at run time. Note that data is stored in the underlying byte buffers in native endian form, thus requesting typed data from a buffer on a platform with different endianness is unsafe.

Caveats

DataBuffer doesn't support zero-sized types.
