Does anyone know of any protocols that mix endianness? Could imagine something like sticking a texture buffer inside of some framing could qualify here for example. Curious if anyone knows of any practical examples.

iirc git uses network byte order in packfiles for counts, but varint (of many flavors) elsewhere which is little-endian

Ohh, yes that would make for a perfect example. Thank you! Reason why I was asking is b/c someone proposed an endianness API that makes you choose between parsing everything as little-endian OR as big-endian which would be overly restrictive. This helps back that up ^^
