The V8 serialialization format.

v8serialize

Read & write the V8 serialization format with Python.

Byte order/endianness

V8 uses the native byte order when serialising data. This library explicitly uses little endian. This is because:

• The vast majority of systems using V8 are little endian
• Because the serialized byte order is native, when people use it to store persistent data they are probably assuming little-endian systems will read it later.
• I don't have a big-endian system or VM to test against

In principle there's no thing to stop prevent adding big endian support though.
