# Endian class final

Endianness of number representation.

The order of bytes in memory of a number representation, with little endian having the least significant byte first, and big endian (aka. network byte order) having the most significant byte first.

The host endian is the native endianness of the underlying platform, and the default endianness used by typed-data lists, like Uint16List, on this platform. Always one of little or big endian.

Can be specified when accessing or updating a sequence of bytes using a ByteData view. The host endianness can be used if accessing larger numbers by their bytes, for example through a Uint8List view on a buffer written using an Int64List view of the same buffer..

It is a compile-time error for a class to attempt to extend or implement `Endian`.
