InterSystems Ideas Waiting to be Implemented Parser for arbitrary binary protocols Rapid growth of IoT industry in recent years produced a plethora of new protocols with varying levels of standardization and adoption. Quite a lot of these protocols are binary because: * It allows for greater throughput * On a device level these protocols are easier to implement * On a device level they are more resource (CPU/RAM) efficient Currently InterSystems IRIS offers several functions for work with binary data: * zzdump * $zhex * $char * $ascii But protocol implementation is left as a task for the end user.

One of the possible approaches to protocol implementation is declarative parsing. With declarative parsing user describes the data structure that he wants parsed (i.e.{ name: title, type: string, length: 5}...) in some declarative language (XML, JSON, YAML) and we use this to generate a concrete parser.

Kaitai Struct (http://kaitai.io) is an OpenSource (MIT license) declarative parser implementation which allows user to generate parser code for several languages: C++, C#, Go, Java, JavaScript, Lua, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust. It allows easy language extensibility by keeping most of the process language-agnostic and only the last step (concrete parser generation) is end-language specific. I propose we add ObjectScript as a Kaitai Struct generation language.

Parser for arbitrary binary protocols

Rapid growth of IoT industry in recent years produced a plethora of new protocols with varying levels of standardization and adoption. Quite a lot of these protocols are binary because: * It allows for greater throughput * On a device level these protocols are easier to implement * On a device level they are more resource (CPU/RAM) efficient Currently InterSystems IRIS offers several functions for work with binary data: * zzdump * $zhex * $char * $ascii But protocol implementation is left as a task for the end user.
