Axios Maintainer Confirms Social Engineering Attack Behind npm Compromise
Axios compromise traced to social engineering, showing how attacks on maintainers can bypass controls and expose the broader software supply chain.

Test if an input value is a supported array byte order.
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Test if an input value is a supported array byte order.
npm install @stdlib/array-base-assert-is-byte-order
var isByteOrder = require( '@stdlib/array-base-assert-is-byte-order' );
Tests if an input value is a supported array byte order.
var bool = isByteOrder( 'little-endian' );
// returns true
bool = isByteOrder( 'big-endian' );
// returns true
var isByteOrder = require( '@stdlib/array-base-assert-is-byte-order' );
var bool = isByteOrder( 'little-endian' );
// returns true
bool = isByteOrder( 'big-endian' );
// returns true
bool = isByteOrder( '' );
// returns false
bool = isByteOrder( 'foo' );
// returns false
This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
