ByteSize
A .NET utility class for unambiguous byte size representation and conversion, adhering to IEC and NIST standards.
What is ByteSize?
ByteSize is a .NET utility class that provides a structured, unambiguous way to represent and convert byte sizes in code. It solves the common confusion between decimal (KB, MB) and binary (KiB, MiB) units by adhering to IEC and NIST standards, ensuring consistent calculations across applications. The library offers a type-safe API for creating, manipulating, formatting, and parsing byte size values.
.NET developers who need to handle file sizes, memory allocations, network bandwidth, or any data quantities expressed in bytes, especially those requiring strict adherence to unit standards.
Developers choose ByteSize because it eliminates ambiguity in byte size calculations, provides a clean, intuitive API similar to System.TimeSpan, and ensures compliance with industry standards for unit representation, reducing bugs and improving code readability.
Overview
ByteSize is a utility class that makes byte size representation in code easier by removing ambiguity of the value being represented. ByteSize is to bytes what System.TimeSpan is to time.
