}Expand description
Trait for values that must be stored in little-endian byte order, but might be represented in memory as big-endian. Every type that implements EndianScalar is a valid FlatBuffers scalar value.
The Rust stdlib does not provide a trait to represent scalars, so this trait serves that purpose, too.
Note that we do not use the num-traits crate for this, because it provides “too much”. For example, num-traits provides i128 support, but that is an invalid FlatBuffers type.

Dyn Compatibility§
This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
