ByteArrayCodec (ciftools-java 0.7.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.rcsb.cif.binary.codec.ByteArrayCodec

```
public class ByteArrayCodec
extends Object
```
Encodes an array of numbers of specified types as raw bytes. E.g. values in the range from 0...255 (i.e. an Uint8Array) can be efficiently represented by single byte rather than int values which would require four bytes.
```
 ByteArray {
     kind = "ByteArray"
     type: Int8Array | Int16Array | Int32Array | Uint8Array | Uint16Array | Uint32Array | Float32Array | Float64Array
 }
 
```
