  • https://caniuse.com/#feat=bigint
  • Note: currently (2020/05), Safari (WebKit) not supported BigInt

Features (including WIP)

• [x] Sync Reader
  • both supporting little and big endian
  • read 8bit, 16bit, 24bit, 32bit unsigned/signed int as number
  • read float/double (32bit/64bit) as number
  • read 64bit unsigned/signed int as BigInt
  • read Zero Terminated String/Bytes
• [ ] Async Reader

Example

Node.js / webpack (and other node-backend bundlers)

import { SyncReader } from "binarin"

const reader = new SyncReader(new DataView(arrayBuffer))
reader.u8() // returns number 0..<256
reader.i8() // returns number -128..<127
reader.float() // returns number
reader.zeroTerminatedString("utf-8") // return string (decoded by TextDecoder)
