jscdr

A DDS-CDR encoder/decoder library in Javascript.

CDR stands for the O.M.G.'s Common Data Representation that is used in DDS (Data Distributed Service) implementations.
It's specified by https://www.omg.org/spec/DDSI-RTPS/2.3/PDF (chapter 10) and https://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?formal/02-06-51.

In the current version, this library only handles the basic types.
It doesn't include an IDL compiler generating Javascript encoder/decoder for complex types.

Usage

Add the following to your HTML page:
``html

`

Assuming a DDS type is defined with the following IDL:
`c
module HelloWorldData
{
struct Msg
{
long userID;
string message;
};
#pragma keylist Msg userID
};
`

The code to encode such type will be:
`js
var m = Msg(1, "Hello World!");

var writer = new CDRWriter();
writer.writeInt32(m.userId);
writer.writeString(m.message);

// get the resulting dcodeIO.ByteBuffer
var byteBuffer = writer.buffer;
`

The code to decode such type will be:
`js
// Get a dcodeIO.ByteBuffer of bytes to decode
var byteBuffer = ...;

CDRReader reader = new CDRReader(byteBuffer);
var userId = reader.readInt32();
var message = reader.readString();
var m = new HelloWorldData.Msg(userId, message);
