Raw

package-data-js

Data package for the Fōrmulæ programming language.

Fōrmulæ is also a software framework for visualization, edition and manipulation of complex expressions, from many fields. The code for an specific field —i.e. arithmetics— is encapsulated in a single unit called a Fōrmulæ package.

This repository contains the source code for the data package. It is intended for the conversion between byte buffers and arbitrary strings, Base64 strings, hexadecimal strings, etc.

The GitHub organization formulae-org encompasses the source code for the rest of packages, as well as the web application.

Capabilities

The Byte buffer expression

The byte buffer expression is a collecion of raw bytes.

Creation

  • Creation of a byte buffer of a given size (number of bytes) with zero values.

Conversions

  • Conversion from/to a byte buffer to/from an arbitrary string. Unicode strings are supported.
  • Conversion from/to a byte buffer to/from a Base64 string.
  • Conversion from/to a byte buffer to/from a hexadecimal string.
  • Conversion from/to a byte buffer to/from an array of integers.

Extraccion of data from a byte buffer

  • Exraction of an integer-8 (a byte) from a given position, and optional signing specification
  • Exraction of an integer-16 (usually known in other languages as short int) from a given position, and optional signing and endianness
  • Exraction of an integer-32 (usually known in other languages as int) from a given position, and optional signing and endianness
  • Exraction of an integer-64 (usually known in other languages as long int) from a given position, and optional signing and endianness
  • Exraction of a float-32 (usually known in other languages as float) from a given position, and optional endianness
  • Exraction of a float-64 (usually known in other languages as double float) from a given position, and optional endianness

Update data in a byte buffer

  • Update an integer-8 value (a byte) from a given position, and optional signing specification
  • Update an integer-16 value (usually known in other languages as short int) from a given position, and optional signing and endianness
  • Update an integer-32 value (usually known in other languages as int) from a given position, and optional signing and endianness
  • Update an integer-64 value (usually known in other languages as long int) from a given position, and optional signing and endianness
  • Update a float-32 value (usually known in other languages as float) from a given position, and optional endianness
  • Update a float-64 value (usually known in other languages as double float) from a given position, and optional endianness

Expressions for options

  • Signing
    • Unsigned (default)
    • Signed
  • Endianness
    • Little-endian (default)
    • Big-endian
