Description

ByteArrayUtils will currently contain only conversion methods between several types and an array of bytes. The functionality is similar to DataInput and DataOutput, but without the indirection of IO streams. As special type the utility class supports also conversion between UUID and byte array (memory layout as described in RFC 4122).
