ieee754-buffer is a ES module to encode and decode IEEE 754 floats without typed arrays.

• MIT licensed
• Use it out of the box in the browser
• Use it out of the box in Node.js
• Use it out of the box with TypeScript
• UMD compatible with IE6+ and browsers that support ES3/ES5/ES6+
• Tested with 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit floats
• Tested against Python's struct module

Install

npm install ieee754-buffer

Use

Browser

Use ieee754-buffer.umd.js:

<script src="ieee754-buffer.umd.js"></script>
<script>
	let packer = new IEEE754Buffer.IEEE754Buffer(8, 23);
	var buffer = [];
	packer.pack(buffer, 0, 3.1415927410);
	console.log(buffer);
</script>

Or load it from the jsDelivr CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/ieee754-buffer"></script>

Or load it from unpkg:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/ieee754-buffer"></script>

Browser compatibility

ieee754-buffer.umd.js is compatible with IE6+. Should work in all modern browsers that support ES3/ES5/ES6+.

Cross-browser tests powered by

Node

Import IEEE754Buffer from ieee754-buffer:

import {IEEE754Buffer} from 'ieee754-buffer';
let packer = new IEEE754Buffer(8, 23);
let buffer = Uint8Array(4);
packer.pack(buffer, 0, 3.1415927410);
console.log(buffer);

Or require:

const IEEE754Buffer = require('ieee754-buffer').IEEE754Buffer;

About

• Overflows are rounded towards Infinity and -Infinity.
• NaN is packed as quiet NaN. Both quiet NaN and signaling NaN can be unpacked.
• Support packing and unpacking zero and negative zero.
• Support packing and unpacking Infinity and negative Infinity
• always little endian, use byte-data for a endianness-independent interface of this lib

API

export class IEEE754Buffer {

  /**
   * Pack a IEEE 754 floating point number.
   * @param {number} ebits The exponent bits.
   * @param {number} fbits The fraction bits.
   */
  constructor(ebits, fbits) {}

  /**
   * Pack a IEEE 754 floating point number.
   * @param {!Uint8Array|!Array<number>} buffer The buffer.
   * @param {number} num The number.
   * @param {number} index The index to write on the buffer.
   * @return {number} The next index to write on the buffer.
   */
  pack(buffer, index, num) {}

  /**
