Binary meta format is made to limit size and simplify parsing to automatic messages. The notation for the node looks the following way (all numeric values use BigEndian encoding):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
All strings are encoded in a following way: 2 bytes for string length, byte array of given length representing UTF-8 encoded string.
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Meta name as string.
|
||
|
|
2. 2 bytes unsigned integer representing the number of values in the node. Could be zero.
|
||
|
|
3. For each of values an encoded name of the value and then:
|
||
|
|
* `0` for Null value.
|
||
|
|
* `T` for `TIME` value, followed by two unsigned long values representing epoch second and nanosecond adjustment.
|
||
|
|
* `S` for `STRING` value followed by encoded string.
|
||
|
|
* `D` for double based `NUMBER` followed by double (double encoding specified by [Java serialization](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/io/DataOutput.html#writeDouble-double-)).
|
||
|
|
* `I` for integer based `NUMBER` followed by signed 4-bytes integer value.
|
||
|
|
* `B` for [`BigDecimal`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/math/BigDecimal.html) based `NUMBER` followed by 2-byte unsigned integer defining the number of bytes in representation, bytes themselves and 4-byte scale factor.
|
||
|
|
* `+` for boolean `true`.
|
||
|
|
* `-` for boolean `false`.
|
||
|
|
* `L` for list value and then 2-byte list size followed by sequence of values (as in item 3, but without a name).
|
||
|
|
4. 2 bytes unsigned integer representing the number of child nodes in this node. Could be zero.
|
||
|
|
5. For each of child nodes:
|
||
|
|
* child node name,
|
||
|
|
* 2-byte unsigned integer representing number of children with this name.
|
||
|
|
* The sequence of nodes with given name encoding like the root node, but without name.
