public static ByteOrder nativeOrder()
This method is defined so that performance-sensitive Java code can allocate direct buffers with the same byte order as the hardware. Native code libraries are often more efficient when such buffers are used.
public String toString()
This method returns the string "BIG_ENDIAN" for BIG_ENDIAN
and "LITTLE_ENDIAN" for LITTLE_ENDIAN
.
