NuGet

BinaryBuffers offers a highly performant implementation of BinaryReader and BinaryWriter, working directly on a byte array, thus eliminating the need for an intermediate Stream object.

How to use

BinaryBufferReader and BinaryBufferWriter are the respective names of the reader and writer. Both classes operate on a byte[] as its underlying data buffer.

// Provide a buffer to the reader/writer
var buffer = new byte[100];

// Write to the buffer
var writer = new BinaryBufferWriter(buffer);

writer.Write(2022);
writer.Write(8.11);

// Read from the buffer
var reader = new BinaryBufferReader(buffer);

var year = reader.ReadInt32();
var time = reader.ReadDouble();

Benchmarks

Performance tests were generated using .NET 6 running on a machine with a 16-core CPU.
