Swap endianness in byte arrays. The input buffer is modified in place.
- **MIT licensed**
- **Compatible with IE6+ and browsers that support ES3/ES5/ES6+**
- **Use it out of the box in Node.js**
- **Use it out of the box with [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)**
- **Use it with any byte offset**
- **Swap entire buffers**
- **Swap only a slice of the buffer**
## Install
```
npm install endianness
```
## Use
### Browser
Use **endianness.umd.js**:
```html
```
Or get it from the [jsDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/npm/endianness) CDN:
```html
```
Or get it from [unpkg](https://www.unpkg.com/endianness):
```html
```
#### Browser compatibility
**endianness.umd.js** is transpiled to ES3 and compatible with IE6+. Should work in all modern browsers that support ES3/ES5/ES6+.
Cross-browser tests powered by
### Node
Require or import **endianness** from **endianness**:
```javascript
import endianness from 'endianness';
// Swap endianness of one 64-bit value:
let bytes = [64, 9, 33, 251, 84, 68, 45, 24];
endianness(bytes, 8);
```
```javascript
const endianness = require("endianness");
// Swap endianness of two 24-bit values:
let bytes = new Uint8Array(["00", "00", "80", "ff", "ff", "7f"]);
endianness(bytes, 3),
```
## API
```javascript
/**
* Swap the byte ordering in a buffer. The buffer is modified in place.
* @param {!Array|!Uint8Array} bytes The bytes.
* @param {number} offset The byte offset.
* @param {number=} index The start index. Assumes 0.
* @param {number=} end The end index. Assumes the buffer length.
* @throws {Error} If the buffer length is not valid.
*/
function endianness(bytes, offset, index=0, end=bytes.length) {}
