    Description

      Test cases using ArrayFromJSON assumes little endian platform

      The following test cases seem to assume little-endian platform.
      TEST_F(TestChunkedArray, View) at https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/table_test.cc#L175
      TEST(TestArrayView, PrimitiveAsFixedSizeBinary) at https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/array_view_test.cc#L105
      TEST(TestArrayView, StructAsStructSimple) at https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/array_view_test.cc#L126
      TEST(TestArrayView, ExtensionType) at https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/array_view_test.cc

      One of examples is PrimitiveAsFixedSizeBinary.

      TEST(TestArrayView, PrimitiveAsFixedSizeBinary) {
        auto arr = ArrayFromJSON(int32(), "[2020568934, 2054316386, null]");
        auto expected = ArrayFromJSON(fixed_size_binary(4), R"(["foox", "barz", null])");
        CheckView(arr, expected);
        CheckView(expected, arr);
      }
      

      The expected strings are represented in binary as follows:

      "foox" = [0x66 0x6f 0x6f 0x78]
      "barz" = [0x62 0x61 0x72 0x7a]
      

      This test gives a value as raw int32. The current values assume only a little-endian platform as follows to generate the expected binary sequence.

      2020568934 = 0x786f6f66
      2054316386 = 0x7a726162
