AsyncBinaryStream
This library helps in developing or implementing protocols that use functions similar to those of DataView in asynchronous form.
Example of usage:
const AsyncBinaryStream = require("async-binary-stream")
// "someDuplexStream" can be Readable but cannot be used for "write" and "flush" methods
// Same with Writable
// Can take Socket or another Duplex/Readable/Writable implementation
let binaryStream = new AsyncBinaryStream(someDuplexStream)
;(async () => {
let num = await binaryStream.readUInt64BE()
binaryStream.writeNullTerminatingString(`UInt64BE bytes: `)
binaryStream.writeUInt64BE(num)
// Send all writed data
await binaryStream.flush()
})()
