About:
Libbinio is a C++ library designed to provide binary I/O stream classes for easy reading and writing of binary data. It abstracts away the complexities of platform-specific endianness, allowing developers to handle data portably across different architectures. The library supports various data types and offers robust error handling for reliable file processing.
Key Features:
  • C++ binary stream classes
  • Automatic endianness handling
  • Support for various data types
  • Platform-independent design
Use Cases:
  • Parsing binary file formats in C++ applications
  • Writing portable binary data structures
  • Developing cross-platform file utilities
Alternatives:
  • Boost.Endian – Boost provides endian conversion utilities but is a heavier dependency than Libbinio.
  • Standard C++ fstream – Standard streams require manual byte-order management, which Libbinio automates.
