public class EndianOutputStream

extends java.io.DataOutputStream

implements EndianOutput

Provides for writing primitive Java data types to a stream in an endian specific format.

Primitive data types are well understood types with associated operations. For example, an int is considered to be a good primitive data type. The data can be converted back using a DataInputStream. A prior knowledge of stream contents is needed.
