farbfeld

farbfeld is a lossless image format which is easy to parse, pipe and
compress.
It has the following format:

| Bytes | Description |
|--------|------------------------------------------------------------|
| 8 | "farbfeld" magic value |
| 4 | 32-Bit BE unsigned integer (width) |
| 4 | 32-Bit BE unsigned integer (height) |
| [2222] | 4⋅16-Bit BE unsigned integers [RGBA] / pixel, row-aligned |

Yeah, nvm, I meant 16-bit. You knew what I meant.

"Big-endian is the most common format in data networking; fields in the protocols of the Internet protocol suite, such as IPv4, IPv6, TCP, and UDP, are transmitted in big-endian order. For this reason, big-endian byte order is also referred to as network byte order."

In the end it doesn't matter which endianness you use. If I used LE for everything, I would still have to use the endianness-conversion-functions for the BE systems it may run on. The rest is cool. ;)

All valid points you made, no need to become insulting, else you'll notice people will stop talking to you.
YMMV of course, why so charged? Nobody is forcing you to use farbfeld anyway, so if you prefer another format, feel free to use it. Today alone I talked to 4 people who told me that they would've loved to have farbfeld in previous problematic situations. These people alone showed me that the time I spent on this was worth it. ;)

What projects are you working on at the moment?
