ieee754-buffer is a module to encode and decode IEEE 754 floating point numbers.

- MIT licensed
- Can be used where typed arrays can't
- Parse 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit floats

Install

``
npm install ieee754-buffer
`

Use

$3

Use the ieee754-buffer.js file in the /dist folder:
`html


`

Or load it from the jsDelivr CDN:
`html

`

Or load it from unpkg:
`html

`

$3

`javascript
const IEEE754Buffer = require('ieee754-buffer').IEEE754Buffer;
let packer = new IEEE754Buffer(8, 23);
let buffer = Uint8Array(4);
packer.pack(buffer, 0, 3.1415927410);
console.log(buffer);
`

About

- Overflows are rounded towards Infinity and -Infinity.
- NaN is packed as quiet NaN. Both quiet NaN and signaling NaN can be unpacked.
- Support packing and unpacking zero and negative zero.
- Support packing and unpacking Infinity and negative Infinity
- always little endian, use byte-data for a endianness-independent interface of this lib

API

`javascript

export class IEEE754Buffer {

/**
* Pack a IEEE 754 floating point number.
* @param {number} ebits The exponent bits.
* @param {number} fbits The fraction bits.
*/
constructor(ebits, fbits) {}

/**
* Pack a IEEE 754 floating point number.
* @param {!Uint8Array|!Array} buffer The buffer.
* @param {number} num The number.
* @param {number} index The index to write on the buffer.
* @return {number} The next index to write on the buffer.
* @throws {TypeError} If input is not a number.
*/
pack(buffer, index, num) {}

/**
* Unpack a IEEE 754 floating point number.
* Derived from IEEE754 by DeNA Co., Ltd., MIT License.
* Adapted to handle NaN. Should port the solution to the original repo.
* @param {!Uint8Array|!Array} buffer The buffer.
* @param {number} index The index to read from the buffer.
* @return {number} The floating point number.
