Overview |
Byter is a C# serialization library for primitive data types, including booleans, numbers, chars, enums, strings, DateTime, BigInteger, bytes, and complex types like classes, structs, arrays, and lists, supporting unlimited complexity and depth. |

-
Global Default Encoding (source code spec)
// update global defaut encoding. Default is UTF8 StringExtension.Default = Encoding.Unicode; // Unicode is UTF16
-
Convert string to byte[]
// using global encoding (*UTF8) byte[] username = "@alec1o".GetBytes(); // using UNICODE (*UTF16) encoding byte[] message = "Hello 👋 World 🌎".GetBytes(Encoding.Unicode); // using UTF32 encoding string secreatWord = "I'm not human, I'm a concept."; byte[] secreat = secreatWord.GetBytes(Encoding.UTF32);
-
Convert byte[] to string
// using global encoding (*UTF8) string username = new byte[] { ... }.GetString(); // using UNICODE (*UTF16) encoding string message = new byte[] { ... }.GetString(Encoding.Unicode); // using UTF32 encoding byte[] secreat = new byte[] { ... }; string secreatWord = secreat.GetString(Encoding.UTF32);
-
Capitalize string
string name = "alECio furanZE".ToCapitalize(); # Alecio Furanze string title = "i'M noT humAn"; title = title.ToCapitalize(); # I'm Not Human
-
UpperCase string
string name = "alECio furanZE".ToUpperCase(); # ALECIO FURANZE string title = "i'M noT humAn"; title = title.ToUpperCase(); # I'M NOT HUMAN
-
LowerCase string
string name = "ALEciO FUraNZE".ToLowerCase(); # alecio furanze string title = "i'M Not huMAN"; title = title.ToLowerCase(); # i'm not human

Proprietary
-
using Byter; byte[] buffer = ...; var r = new Reader(buffer); // Get lenght of buffer int lenght = r.Length;
-
using Byter; byte[] buffer = ...; var r = new Reader(buffer); // return current index of readed buffer int position = r.Position;

- Internally, before data is written a prefix is added in front of it, so when reading it always compares the prefix of the (data type) you want to read with the strings in the read buffer. if the prefixes do not match then o ( Reader. Success = False), eg. If you write an (int) and try to read a float (Reader.Success = False) because the prefix of an (int) is different from that of a (float), it is recommended to read all the data and at the end check the success, if it is (Reader.Success = False) then one or more data is corrupt. This means that Writer and Reader add dipping to your write and read data.
Methods
-
using Byter; byte[] buffer = ...; // Create reader instance using r = new Reader(buffer); string name = r.Read<string>(); char firstLatter = r.Read<char>(); Float3 position = r.Read<Float3>(); // Check if is success if (r.Success) { Console.WriteLine($"Name: {name}"); Console.WriteLine($"First Latter: {firstLatter}"); Console.WriteLine($"Position: {position}"); } else { Console.WriteLine("Error on get data"); }
-
using Byter; using var w = new Writer(); w.Write("KEZERO"); w.Write((int) 1024); using var r = new Reader(ref w); string name = r.Read<string>(); // name: KEZERO int age = r.Read<int>(); // age: 1024 // Move index (Reader.Position) for target value "MIN VALUE IS 0"; r.Seek(10); // move current index for read for 10 (when start read using .Read<Type> will start read on 10 index from buffer); // Reset internal position r.Seek(0); string name2 = r.Read<string>(); // name: KEZERO (because the start index of this string on buffer is 0) int age2 = r.Read<int>(); age: 1024; // NEED READ LAST INT r.Seek(r.Position - sizeof(int) + sizeof(char) /* int size is 4 + char size is 2. The 2 bytes is overhead of protocol */); int age3 = r.Read<int>(); age: 1024 (because i return 4bytes before old current value)
