BinaryExtensions

Types and extension methods to deal with binary data.

Features

• read primitives in any endianness using Read and TryRead extension methods for BinaryReader and byte[]
• a logged stream that logs read and written regions in a wrapped stream
  • e.g. reverse-engineering a file format and find what's currently been unexplored in the file by your logic

CHANGELOG

1.1.2 (11/19/2020)

• added BinaryReader.ReadToEnd method
• fixed LogStream.GetRegionsReadIntersect that was returning empty regions for fully read streams
• added tests project
• enforced C# 8.0 version so project can still be used in Unity
• using internal annotations to prevent conflicts, e.g. when using UnityEngine.CoreModule in non-Unity projects
• don't include XML documentation in repository

1.1.1 (10/2/2020)

• publishing release configuration instead

1.1.0 (10/2/2020)

• breaking changes
  • not overloading System.IO namespace anymore
  • not everything has been back ported yet
  • switching to .NET Standard 2.1
• better NuGet package with sources and symbols
• now using T4 templates for code generation
• version bump to 1.1.0
• new icon

1.0.* (11/18/2018)

• seamless reading of integral types in big-endian or little-endian format, environment endianness being irrelevant
• functions are exposed as extension methods for BinaryReader and all integral types
• endian-aware integral types, just declare structs and read them in one go with ReadStruct<T>
• a LoggedBinaryReader that logs read and unread regions, very useful when deciphering some complex file format
