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

### Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This crate works with Cargo and is on
|
||
|
|
[crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/byteorder). Add it to your `Cargo.toml`
|
||
|
|
like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```toml
|
||
|
|
[dependencies]
|
||
|
|
byteorder = "1"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to augment existing `Read` and `Write` traits, then import the
|
||
|
|
extension methods like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
use byteorder::{ReadBytesExt, WriteBytesExt, BigEndian, LittleEndian};
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
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`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```toml
|
||
|
|
[dependencies]
|
||
|
|
byteorder = { version = "1", default-features = false }
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Minimum Rust version policy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This crate's minimum supported `rustc` version is `1.60.0`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current policy is that the minimum Rust version required to use this crate
|
||
|
|
can be increased in minor version updates. For example, if `crate 1.0` requires
|
||
|
|
Rust 1.20.0, then `crate 1.0.z` for all values of `z` will also require Rust
|
||
|
|
1.20.0 or newer. However, `crate 1.y` for `y > 0` may require a newer minimum
|
||
|
|
version of Rust.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In general, this crate will be conservative with respect to the minimum
|
||
|
|
supported version of Rust.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 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.
