# AMF.net

An implementation in C# of both AMF0 and AMF3 binary format that is used to serialize ActionScript object graphs.

# Install using NuGet

![Nuget](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/mtanksl.ActionMessageFormat)

```

dotnet add package mtanksl.ActionMessageFormat --version 1.0.4

```

# Why?

So, Flash is dead and Adobe will end support of Flash Player on December 31, 2020. 

I actually never used Flash and had no knowledge of it's build in communication protocol.

It turns out that I had to automate a creepy old software written in Flash.

Since I did not find any good library, I've written my own.

# Audience

Probably nobody. 

But hey, It is fun to learn and implement a protocol. 

I kind liked this one (but no, I will never use it again).

# Specification

Here is the official ![Action Message Format AMF0 Specification](/amf0.pdf) and ![Action Message Format AMF3 Specification](/amf3.pdf).

# How to serialize an object

```C#

var writer = new AmfWriter();

writer.WriteAmfPacket(new AmfPacket()

{

    Version = AmfVersion.Amf3,

    Headers = new List(),

    Messages = new List()

    {

        new AmfMessage()

        {

            TargetUri = "null",

            ResponseUri = "/1",

            Data = new CommandMessageExt()

            {

                Operation = 5,

                CorrelationId = "",

                TimeToLive = 0,

                Timestamp = 0,

                Headers = new { DSMessagingVersion = 1, DSId = "nil" },

                Body = new { },

                ClientId = null,

                Destination = "",

                MessageId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString()

            }

        }

    }

} );

```

# How to deserialize an object

```C#

var reader = new AmfReader(writer.Data);

var packet = reader.ReadAmfPacket();

```

# Object Viewer

I've also implemented a custom object viewer. 

Please note that IExternalizable classes need the definition models within the project. 

Use [TraitClass] and [TraitMember] attributes to map custom classes and properties.

# Fiddler Inspector

I've also implemented a custom Fiddler Inspector. 

Please note that IExternalizable classes need the definition models within the project. 

Use [TraitClass] and [TraitMember] attributes to map custom classes and properties.

To build, add a reference to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Fiddler\Fiddler.exe

After build, copy all dlls to C:\Users\\Documents\Fiddler2\Inspectors\
