AnyBitStream

nuget nuget Build status Codacy Badge

Work with bits efficiently in a stream using standard streams and extending BinaryReader/BinaryWriter.

Description

AnyBitStream is an efficient stream based class for working with data at the bit level. It supports non-standard numeric types such as Int2 to Int7, Int10,Int12,Int24,Int48 and is perfect for working with network protocols or general bit-packing operations.

Installation

Install AnyBitStream from the Package Manager Console:

PM> Install-Package AnyBitStream

Usage

using AnyBitStream;

var buffer = new byte[64] { // some byte data };
var stream = new BitStream(buffer);
var reader = new BitStreamReader(stream);

// read a 12 byte header
var header = new MyHeader {
  Marker = reader.ReadInt4(),
  ContinuityId = reader.ReadInt3(),
  IsValid = reader.ReadBit(),
  Length = reader.ReadInt32()
};
// read in some bytes
var data = reader.ReadBytes(header.Length);

Unaligned vs Aligned bytes

By default, the BitStream will not allow unaligned data to be read/written. For example, if you've read 5 bits and then try to read a byte an exception will be thrown. Because you tried to read a byte that doesn't reside on a byte boundary (8 bits) it doesn't want to give you potentially bad data. However sometimes this behavior is desired with certain bit packing formats.

To enable reading/writing unaligned data:

// via constructor(s) on the stream
var stream = new BitStream(true);
var stream = new BitStream(buffer, writable: true, allowUnalignedOperations: true);
// via property
stream.AllowUnalignedOperations = true;
// also available via the reader/writers
var reader = new BitStreamReader(stream, leaveOpen: true, allowUnalignedOperations: true);
var writer = new BitStreamWriter(stream, leaveOpen: true, allowUnalignedOperations: true);

See more on reading unaligned streams in the wiki.
