Re: [Haskell-cafe] Data.Binary and little endian encoding

I'm speaking specifically of the encode/decode functions. I have no idea how they're implemented.

Are you saying that encode is doing something really simple and the default encodings for things just happen to be big endian? If so, then I understand the pain.... but it still means I have to roll my own :-) I guess if one must choose, big endian kind of makes sense, except that the whole world is little endian now, except for networks :-) (No one *really* cares about anything but x86 anyway these days right?)

Oh, 'encode' has type: encode :: Binary a => a -> ByteString it just encodes with the default instances, which are all network order: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness#Endianness_in_networking -- Don
