The OpenDDL-Parser
==================

The OpenDDL-Parser is a small and easy to use library for OpenDDL-file-format-parsing. OpenDDL is the shortcut for Open Data Description Language, a data-declaration language introduced by Eric Lengyel. Please check http://openddl.org/ if you want to learn more about it.

Get the source code
===================
You can get the code from our git repository, which is located at GitHub. You can clone the repository with the following command:

> git clone https://github.com/kimkulling/openddl-parser.git

Building the source from the GitHub-Repo
========================================
To build the library you need to install cmake first ( see http://www.cmake.org/ for more information ). Make also sure that a compiler tool-chain is installed on your machine.
After installing it you can open a console and enter:

> cmake CMakeLists.txt

This command will generate a build environment for your preferred build tool ( for Visual-Studio-users the project files will be generated, for gcc-users the makefiles will be generated ).
When using an IDE open the IDE and run the build. When using GNU-make type in your console:

> make

and that's all.

When using Visual Studio CMake will generate you a solution for ythe library. Just build it there.

Use the library
===============
To use the OpenDDL-parser you need to build the lib first. Now add the
> /include

to your include-path and the

> /lib

to your lib-folder. Link the openddl.lib to your application.

Here is a small example how to use the lib:

```cpp

#include
#include
#include

USE_ODDLPARSER_NS;

int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
if( argc < 3 ) {
return Error;
}

char *filename( nullptr );
if( 0 == strncmp( FileOption, argv[1], strlen( FileOption ) ) ) {
filename = argv[ 2 ];
}
std::cout << "file to import: " << filename << std::endl;
if( nullptr == filename ) {
std::cerr << "Invalid filename." << std::endl;
return Error;
}

FILE *fileStream = fopen( filename, "r+" );
if( NULL == filename ) {
std::cerr << "Cannot open file " << filename << std::endl;
return Error;
}

// obtain file size:
fseek( fileStream, 0, SEEK_END );
const size_t size = ftell( fileStream );
rewind( fileStream );
if( size > 0 ) {
char *buffer = new char[ size ];
const size_t readSize = fread( buffer, sizeof( char ), size, fileStream );
assert( readSize == size );

// Set the memory buffer
OpenDDLParser theParser;
theParser.setBuffer( buffer, size );
if( !theParser.parse() ) {
std::cerr << "Error while parsing file " << filename << "." << std::endl;
return Error;
}
}

return 0;
}

```

How to access the imported data
===============================
The data is organized as a tree. You can get the root-node of the tree with the following code:

```cpp
OpenDDLParser theParser;
theParser.setBuffer( buffer, size );
const bool result( theParser.parse() );
if ( result ) {
DDLNode *root = theParser.getRoot();
DDLNode::DllNodeList children = root->getChildNodeList();
for ( size_t i=0; igetProperty(); // to get properties
std::string type = child->getType(); // to get the node type
Value *values = child->getValue(); // to get the data;

// to loop through all values
while ( values != ddl_nullptr ) {
int current = values->getInt32();
values = value->getNext();
}
}
}

```

The node instance called root contains the data.

All data lists are organized as linked lists.
