Utility library for writing and reading to a byte array
Binary Data Serialization in Dart #
The ByteWriter
and ByteReader
classes are utility classes designed to facilitate reading and writing binary data in Dart. They offer a convenient way to serialize and deserialize data into byte sequences, enabling efficient storage and transmission of binary data.
ByteWriter #
The ByteWriter
class provides methods for writing various data types into a binary format. It includes the following key methods:
writeBool
: Writes a boolean value to the byte buffer.writeString
: Writes a string value to the byte buffer.writeUint8List
: Writes a list of 8-bit unsigned integers to the byte buffer.writeUint16
: Writes a 16-bit unsigned integer to the byte buffer.writeBytes
: Writes a list of bytes to the byte buffer.- ...and more.
The compile
method returns the compiled byte sequence as a Uint8List
that can be further processed or transmitted.
ByteReader #
The ByteReader
class complements the ByteWriter
class by providing methods to read data from a binary format. It maintains an internal index to keep track of the current position within the byte sequence. Key methods include:
readBool
: Reads a boolean value from the byte sequence.readString
: Reads a string value from the byte sequence.readUint8List
: Reads a list of 8-bit unsigned integers from the byte sequence.readUint16
: Reads a 16-bit unsigned integer from the byte sequence.readBytes
: Reads a specified number of bytes from the byte sequence.- ...and more.
The ByteReader
allows you to read values in the same order they were written by the ByteWriter
.
Usage #
The ByteWriter
and ByteReader
classes are useful in scenarios where efficient serialization and deserialization of binary data is required. They find application in various use cases, such as:
- Working with network protocols
- Manipulating low-level binary data
- Storing binary data in a custom file format
- Efficiently transmitting binary data over a network
Please refer to the documentation within the classes for detailed information on the available methods and their usage.
