Java : Замена Endians на DataInputStream

Ниже приведен мой код, который заменяет DataInputStream для упаковки InputStream, но предоставляет дополнительные методы для чтения типов данных с маленьким порядковым номером в дополнение к обычным методам, которые считывают типы больших порядковых номеров. Не стесняйтесь использовать его, если хотите.

У меня есть несколько оговорок по следующему. Обратите внимание на методы, которые не изменяют функциональность (функции, которые считывают типы больших конечных номеров). Невозможно реализовать DataInputStream в качестве базового класса и использовать его методы, такие как read(), readInt(), readChar() и т.д.?

Моя классовая иерархия здесь кажется немного странной. Уместно ли это?

Нужна ли какому-либо из этих других типов, таких как readUTF() или readLine(), небольшая версия порядкового номера? Или это субъективно для конкретных программ?

Как Java хранит логические типы? Субъективно ли это и для эндианности?

Спасибо за удовлетворение моих любопытных :)
