ProperBitConverter class

Namespace: Sirenix.Serialization
Assembly: Sirenix.Serialization 
public static class ProperBitConverter
Corresponds to the .NET System.BitConverter class, but works only with buffers and so never allocates garbage.

This class always writes and reads bytes in a little endian format, regardless of system architecture.

Inheritance
  • System.Object
  • ProperBitConverter
