Features

libbinio implements a generalized binary stream class framework, with the following features:

• The ability to read arbitrary-sized integers, as long as the underlying system can hold the final value.
• Conversion between Big- and Little-Endian storage.
• Reading and writing of IEEE-754 single and double precision floating-point numbers and the conversion to/from any system-internal floating-point representation.

libbinio provides classes for streaming access to normal files, arbitrary data strings in memory and a wrapper around standard iostreams from either the ISO standard C++ library, or a "traditional" iostream implementation.

In addition, convenience methods for the STL string class can be enabled that support reading and writing of arbitrary length strings with dynamic memory allocation.

libbinio should compile and run on as much systems as possible. If it doesn't work with your system/compiler combination, please tell me!
