Method Detail

### encodeFloat

    public static byte[] encodeFloat(float payload)

### encodeFloat

    public static byte[] encodeFloat(float payload,
                                     byte[] data,
                                     int offset)

### encodeInt

    public static byte[] encodeInt(int payload)

### encodeInt

    public static byte[] encodeInt(int payload,
                                   byte[] data,
                                   int offset)

### decodeFloat

    public static float decodeFloat(byte[] bytes)

  Parameters:
    `bytes` -
  Returns:
    the decoded float
  See Also:
    `decodeFloat(byte[], int)`, `encodeFloat(float)`

### decodeFloat

    public static final float decodeFloat(byte[] bytes,
                                          int offset)

  Decode the payload that was encoded using `encodeFloat(float)`. NOTE: the length of the array must be at least offset + 4 long.

  Parameters:
    `bytes` - The bytes to decode
    `offset` - The offset into the array.
  Returns:
    The float that was encoded
  See Also:
    `encodeFloat(float)`

### decodeInt

    public static final int decodeInt(byte[] bytes,
                                      int offset)
