Purpose:

Provide encoding/decoding of data per the (binary) BER rules.

MNEMONIC: Basic Application Library BER (balber):

Description:

The balber ("Basic Application BER") package defines classes that can encode and decode data per the X.690 BER (Basic Encoding Rules) specification. These classes can be used only for types supported by the bdlat framework. Typical usage is illustrated in balber_berdecoder|Example 1: Decoding an Employee Record and balber_berencoder|Example 1: Encoding an Employee Record.

Hierarchical Synopsis:

The balber package currently has 7 components having 4 levels of physical dependency. The list below shows the hierarchical ordering of the components. The order of components within each level is not architecturally significant, just alphabetical.
