This crate provides convenience methods for encoding and decoding numbers in
either big-endian or little-endian order.

### Documentation
https://docs.rs/byteorder
### Installation
This crate works with Cargo and is on
[crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/byteorder). Add it to your `Cargo.toml`
like so:
```toml
[dependencies]
byteorder = "1"
```
If you want to augment existing `Read` and `Write` traits, then import the
extension methods like so:
```rust
extern crate byteorder;
use byteorder::{ReadBytesExt, WriteBytesExt, BigEndian, LittleEndian};
```
For example:
```rust
use std::io::Cursor;
use byteorder::{BigEndian, ReadBytesExt};
let mut rdr = Cursor::new(vec![2, 5, 3, 0]);
// Note that we use type parameters to indicate which kind of byte order
// we want!
assert_eq!(517, rdr.read_u16::<BigEndian>().unwrap());
assert_eq!(768, rdr.read_u16::<BigEndian>().unwrap());
```
### `no_std` crates
This crate has a feature, `std`, that is enabled by default. To use this crate
in a `no_std` context, add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
byteorder = { version = "1", default-features = false }
```
