Reading binary data

[Henry Jen]

Depending on which branch are you using, in foreign branch, Pointer is the only API available. However, MemorySegment/MemoryAddress API in foreign-memaccess,foreign-abi is the direction we are pursuing. 

Theoretically, it’s possible to bring Pointer API on top of that, but we are experimenting/evaluating if that’s worthwhile or MemoryAccess API is enough.

Cheers,
Henry

I'm assuming(correct me if I'm wrong here) that accessing this data requires use of lower level foreign memory API however the API seems to have changed since the presentation given a few months back. What is the correct way currently for accessing this data?
