=================
[![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@protobufjs/float.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@protobufjs/float)
Reads / writes floats / doubles from / to buffers in both modern and ancient browsers. Fast.
API
---
* **writeFloatLE(val: `number`, buf: `Uint8Array`, pos: `number`)**<br />
Writes a 32 bit float to a buffer using little endian byte order.
* **writeFloatBE(val: `number`, buf: `Uint8Array`, pos: `number`)**<br />
Writes a 32 bit float to a buffer using big endian byte order.
* **readFloatLE(buf: `Uint8Array`, pos: `number`): `number`**<br />
Reads a 32 bit float from a buffer using little endian byte order.
* **readFloatBE(buf: `Uint8Array`, pos: `number`): `number`**<br />
Reads a 32 bit float from a buffer using big endian byte order.
* **writeDoubleLE(val: `number`, buf: `Uint8Array`, pos: `number`)**<br />
Writes a 64 bit double to a buffer using little endian byte order.
* **writeDoubleBE(val: `number`, buf: `Uint8Array`, pos: `number`)**<br />
Writes a 64 bit double to a buffer using big endian byte order.
* **readDoubleLE(buf: `Uint8Array`, pos: `number`): `number`**<br />
Reads a 64 bit double from a buffer using little endian byte order.
* **readDoubleBE(buf: `Uint8Array`, pos: `number`): `number`**<br />
Reads a 64 bit double from a buffer using big endian byte order.
Performance
-----------
There is a simple benchmark included comparing raw read/write performance of this library (float), float's fallback for old browsers, the [ieee754](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ieee754) module and node's [buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html). On an i7-2600k running node 6.9.1 it yields:
```
