Detailed Description

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.
