Node buffers store data in 8-bit chunks, so endianess doesn't matter. In
the helper methods on buffers, you have to specify the endianess when
reading and writing anything over 8-bits long. (
http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html). Here is an example using the node repl.
> b = new Buffer([1,2,3,4])
<Buffer 01 02 03 04>
> b.readUInt32LE(0)
67305985
> b.readUInt32BE(0)
16909060
Now Typed Arrays from the browser spec, which node also implements, should
be little-endian, but there is little reason to use these in node except
for cross-platform code.
