Open-RJ Description

Open-RJ is an library that implements readers for the Record-Jar structured text file format. Open-RJ is an library that implements readers for the Record-Jar structured text file format. Mappings are provided to several languages and technologies, including C++, COM, D, Java, .NET, Python, Ruby, and STL.In addition to platform-independence, the library focuses on small runtime costs - memory and speed - and the classic UNIX attributes of discoverability and visibility.As described in the excellent book "The Art Of UNIX Programming", a Record-Jar structured format file consists of records and fields.A field is a single line - optionally extended with trailing '' - that contains a name, separated from an optional value by ':'.A record is a list of fields, whose contents are arbitrary and can vary between records in the same database. Records are separated by a line that begins with "%%". The record separator also acts as a comment, so anything can come on a record separator line after the first two characters.A database is a correctly parsed Record-Jar file. The Open-RJ API (and language mappings) provide access to all the records in the database and the complete set of fields. Hence, you may work with fields on a per-record basis, or treat the database as a single record and with all fields in the database.A very simple Record-Jar file, representing a Pets Database, is shown in the table on the right-hand side of this page.And that's pretty much all there is to it. There are no restrictions on what fields may be in a record, and no controls over whether all records have the same fields or not. That's the job of higher layers of application functionality. We keep Record-Jar simple so it's reliable, portable and fast, and it's those things in spades! %% Pets Name: Barney Species: Dog Breed: Bijon Frieze %% Name: Samson Species: Dog Breed: Ridgeback %% Name: Fluffy Kitten Species: Cat %%What's New in This Release:· The code was updated to be fully compatible with STLSoft 1.9.1 (the special version released on Extended STL, volume 1: CD).
