endiannessindependence
Endianness independence is a design principle in computing that aims to ensure data remains interpretable across systems with different byte orders. It means that the representation of multi-byte values and the protocol for reading and writing data do not rely on the host CPU’s native endianness.
Endianness refers to the order in which bytes are arranged in memory for multi-byte values. Big-endian stores
To achieve endianness independence, systems typically encode data using a defined byte order or use text representations.
Text-based formats such as JSON and XML are naturally endianness-independent because they encode information as standardized
In practice, achieving endianness independence enhances portability and interoperability, reducing subtle bugs when software components exchange
