little endian DataInputStream

Question

Is there any way to force DataInputStream to read little-endian data?? Thx

PS. Doing byte-buffer conversions is not very convinient as I'm dealing with C-type structs that have lots of 32-bit and 16-bit members.

Perhaps you can use ByteBuffer which allows order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN) After that most of the methods are like DataInputStream.

If you aren't already using Guava Peter Lawrey's answer above is probably better.
