A powerful bitstream library for TypeScript

Utilities for packing/unpacking fields in a bitstream - astronautlabs/bitstream

A powerful bitstream library for TypeScript launched on January 24, 2022 with 39 votes, #912 of 2,891 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

In plain words

This TypeScript library provides tools for reading and writing bitstreams, enabling developers to work with binary data at the bit level. It is designed for programmers who need to parse or construct binary formats, encode data efficiently, or work with low-level protocols. The library offers a straightforward interface for bit manipulation tasks that would otherwise require complex manual operations.

Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage. I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the…
