endianness
This term is a technical specification used almost exclusively in computer science and low-level programming. It describes the byte order of multi-byte data types, typically categorized as big-endian or little-endian. The term is used to identify potential compatibility issues when data is transferred between different processor architectures.
As an abstract property of a system's architecture, the word is uncountable. It refers to a characteristic or a state of being rather than a discrete object, meaning it does not have a plural form and is not used with count markers.
Meanings
Examples
The network protocol specifies a big endianness for all header fields.

Wait, is this file stored with little endianness or big endianness?
The mismatch in endianness caused the integer values to be read incorrectly.
Different CPU architectures handle endianness in fundamentally different ways.
I wonder if the firmware handles the endianness conversion automatically.
