Search for "byte order" at 
https://www.khronos.org/registry/typedarray/specs/latest/.

I had already search for "endian" with similar results.  It says that the 
default for DataViews gets/sets that do not specify a byte order is big-endean. It 
doesn't say anything (that I can find) about such accesses on TypedArray gets/sets.

Oh, odd -- I recall that it used to say little-endian. Typed arrays are LE to match dominant architectures, while DataViews are BE to match packed serialization use-cases.

Ken, did something get edited out?
