Our name

The WebEndians name was created as a game of words. It comes from a combination of the word “Web” and the word “Endian“. It is core technical stuff and not that many people know it. As we are tired of explaining what “google” means , here is Wikipedia’s explanation:


“In computing, endianness is the ordering of individually addressable sub-units (words, bytes, or even bits) within a longer data word stored in external memory. The most typical cases are the ordering of bytes within a 16-, 32-, or 64-bit word, where endianness is often simply referred to as byte order. The usual contrast is between most versus least significant byte first, called big-endian and little-endian respectively. Mixed forms are also possible.[1]”
