Bit-lib4j

Bit-Lib4j is an useful library to handle bytes or bits in Java.
With this library you can read/write data in a byte array with a custom size for Java primitive types.

Simple API

It is very easy to get started with bit-lib4j:

• Read data from byte array

	byte[] array = new byte[]{0x12,0x25}
	BitUtils bit = new BitUtils(array);
	int res = bit.getNextInteger(4);        // read the first 4 bits to an integer

• Create byte array with bit

	BitUtils bit = new BitUtils(8);
	bit.setNextInteger(3,3);        // set an integer on 3 bits
	bit.setNextInteger(1,5);        // set one value on 5 bits

	// Result
	bit.getData();                  // return Ox61  (0110 0001b)

• Read/write signed values

	BitUtils bit = new BitUtils(4);
	bit.setNextInteger(-2 , 4);	    // set an integer (-2) on 3 bits

	// Result
	bit.getNextIntegerSigned(4);    // return -2

You can also use getNextSignedLong() to handle long signed values.

Handle bytes more easily

The class ByteUtils provided static methods to convert byte array to String, String to byte array, int to byte array, byte array to binary representation.
