byte-data-stream

Readable & writable byte data stream

Usage

const fs = require('fs');
const { ByteStream } = require('byte-data-stream');

let buf = fs.readFileSync('......'); // any ArrayBuffer or Uint8Array or nodejs Buffer
let stream = new ByteStream(buf);

stream.read_int8(); // read signed byte
stream.read_uint8(); // read unsigned byte
stream.read_bytes(8); // read many bytes
stream.read_int16(); // read signed big-endian 16-bit integer
stream.read_uint16(true); // read unsigned little-endian 16-bit integer
stream.read_var_uint(); // read unsigned big-endian varint
// ...

stream.write_int8(96); // write signed byte
stream.write_uint8(192); // write unsigned byte
stream.write_bytes([19,72,11,21,19,72,11,21]); // write many bytes
stream.write_int16(1972); // write signed big-endian 16-bit integer
stream.write_uint16(49861,true); // write unsigned little-endian 16-bit integer
stream.write_var_uint(92736296525); // write unsigned big-endian varint
// ...
