README

        
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:

* Fixnum

* 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.
