Class EndianUtils


  • public class EndianUtils
    extends java.lang.Object
    Utility code for dealing with different endian systems.

    Different computer architectures adopt different conventions for byte ordering. In so-called "Little Endian" architectures (eg Intel), the low-order byte is stored in memory at the lowest address, and subsequent bytes at higher addresses. For "Big Endian" architectures (eg Motorola), the situation is reversed. This class helps you solve this incompatibility.
