BERT
====
A BERT (Binary ERlang Term) serialization library for Ruby. It can
encode Ruby objects into BERT format and decode BERT binaries into Ruby
objects.
See the BERT specification at [bert-rpc.org](http://bert-rpc.org).
Instances of the following Ruby classes will be automatically converted to the
proper simple BERT type:
* Integer
* Float
* Symbol
* Array
* String
Instances of the following Ruby classes will be automatically converted to the
proper complex BERT type:
* NilClass
* TrueClass
* FalseClass
* Hash
* Time
* Regexp
To designate tuples, simply prefix an Array literal with a `t` or use the
BERT::Tuple class:
t[:foo, [1, 2, 3]]
BERT::Tuple[:foo, [1, 2, 3]]
Both of these will be converted to (in Erlang syntax):
{foo, [1, 2, 3]}
Installation
------------
gem install bert -s http://gemcutter.org
Usage
-----
require 'bert'
bert = BERT.encode(t[:user, {:name => 'TPW', :nick => 'mojombo'}])
# => "\203h\002d\000\004userh\003d\000\004bertd\000\004dictl\000\000\
000\002h\002d\000\004namem\000\000\000\003TPWh\002d\000\004nickm\
000\000\000\amojomboj"
BERT.decode(bert)
# => t[:user, {:name=>"TPW", :nick=>"mojombo"}]
Note on Patches/Pull Requests
-----------------------------
* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
future version unintentionally.
* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
(if you want to have your own version, that is fine but
bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
