Hello DFDL Community,
I am creating a DFDL schema for exe files.
Exe files are in littleEndian.
One field is called imageBase. It is a long long value. (long long is 8 bytes)
Would it make most sense to output that field simply as hex?
If I output it as hex, would it be better to output the hex in littleEndian:
<xs:element name="Image_Base_in_hex"
type="xs:hexBinary"
dfdl:length="8"
dfdl:lengthKind="explicit"
dfdl:lengthUnits="bytes"
dfdl:byteOrder="littleEndian"
/>
Or, would it be better to output the hex in bigEndian:
<xs:element name="Image_Base_in_hex"
type="xs:hexBinary"
dfdl:length="8"
dfdl:lengthKind="explicit"
dfdl:lengthUnits="bytes"
dfdl:byteOrder="bigEndian"
/>
If I output it in bigEndian:
<Image_Base_in_hex>0090000000004000</Image_Base_in_hex>
it is easier to copy the hex in that element and find the hex in my hex editor.
What do you recommend?
