binaryextensions's Introduction

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

binaryextensions's Issues

Why are these new changes not a different project?

The nice point of this package was that it was an extension of System.IO. This latest release breaks everybody's projects. It really should be its own nuget package, and you should restore the old one as to not break anybody's code
