@webnet/binary
Binary readers and writers for webnet protocols.
BinaryWriter and BinaryReader are growable, bounds-checked big/little-endian cursors over Uint8Array. LengthPrefixedBinaryWriter and LengthPrefixedBinaryReader extend them with u32-length-prefixed byte strings and UTF-8 text.
The package has no transport or DOM dependency, so protocol packages can share binary serialization without depending on browser utilities.

Usage
import { BinaryWriter, LengthPrefixedBinaryReader } from "@webnet/binary"
const bytes = new BinaryWriter({ endian: "little" })
.u32(3)
.bytes(new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]))
.finish()
const reader = new LengthPrefixedBinaryReader(bytes, 0, "little")
reader.string() // Uint8Array [1, 2, 3]
