BinarySerialization - need some design help
Hi, this is my first foray into lower level programming and I could use some help.
I am writing a DOCSIS-compliant binary serializer for C#. It will take as input a
This is a barebones, minified example of what these files will contain. Every line is either a property or a collection of properties.
I will refer to these properties as
Now the issue I am facing is that there are 25 ish encoding methods and 25 decoding methods, but hundreds of different properties. All unique properties are stored in a property map with name, id and a reference to the correct method for encoding or decoding.
This can be seen here: https://github.com/rlaager/docsis/blob/master/src/docsis_symtable.h
My original idea was that when I am parsing a file, I can initialize a new
