Javascript Typed Arrays and Endianness

The current behaviour, is determined by the endianness of the underlying hardware. As almost all desktop computers are x86, this means little-endian. Most ARM OSes use little-endian mode (ARM processors are bi-endian and thus can operate in either). The reason why this is somewhat sad is the fact that it means almost nobody will test … Read more
