This is a JavaScript package for reading and writing IEEE 754 floating point numbers to or from a Buffer or array-like object. It provides read and write functions with options for endianness and mantissa and byte lengths, useful when you need to parse or encode binary floating-point values.
Project status
- The source appears to be quiet/dormant for maintenance: the last upstream push was in 2021-08-12, and there have been no recent published updates since around 2020-10.
- The apparent update cadence is low and long gaps between updates (notably releases in 2020-10, then the next cited activity much earlier, and no evidence of ongoing 2021-2026 updates).
