binpack

binpack is a minimalist numeric binary packing utilities for node.js.

I’m working some utilities for OSC support in node, and I noticed that there was no really simple way to convert from native javascript types to and from the binary buffers required for OSC messages.

It turned out to be a nice project to get my feet wet with making native node extentions.

The code is free on github, and it’s uploaded to npm. To grab it, first make sure you have npm installed, then run

npm install binpack

The source code should provide a good example of a simple node extension.
