I take it's this one - https://github.com/niXman/yas https://github.com/niXman/yas ? I haven't seen it before, but there are bound to be similar solutions to the same problem. The library I posted is used internally for a number of our projects and it has evolved in a course of several years. It is not _trying_ to solve a problem, it _is_ solving a very specific need that our code had since the beginning. So if you are implying that this is a pointless duplication of some other existing solution, then you are off. There's more than one way to skin a cat. Re: endianess - to each (project) their own. We don't need normalized byte ordering, so with all other things being equal yas-like library will be marginally slower. Other advantages - I don't see any that would benefit our case, but I'm sure there are some that may come handy in other contexts.
