This results in a complete In-place conversion between different byte orderings using the methods provided by a _ByteSorter_ template such as _BigEndianSorter_. -### Conclusion +## Conclusion At last I am now able to do everything I planned in the beginning in a very compact way using the _Serializer_, _TupleReader_ and _BinaryMapping_ templates.
