This is an event library for serial message inputs and is part of the InputEvents family.
The library will take character (char) input from any serial source via a serial adapter, creating a message from the stream, pass it to your message consumer class or method and optionally pass decoded key/value pairs to your key/value consumer.
The library makes no assumptions about message size or the length of keys and values - there are only two buffers which are user defined, so can be created where best suits your project.
The BasicBuffer and BasicBufferView classes provide a pointer to the user buffer together with the buffer size and the length of the buffer contents.
The reference to the read buffer is 'owned' by the IEventMessenger, is populated from a serial stream by the framer and no copies are made on the way to (and including) the key/value decoder.
The reference to the wtite buffer is 'owned' by the IMessageBuilder and written though to serial without copying.
The IEventMessenger will pass messages to either a class or function consumer but its use is optional - you can also directly read from and write to the framer.
Queues can be implemented in the IMessageFramer and/or the IEventMessenger if desired. The BasicBufferQueue class is included in the library. A char buffer can also be implemented in the ISerialAdapter.
A default IMessageBulder class makes it easy to encode key/value pairs and wrtie them to the IEventMessenger (or framer directly).
A number of formatters (message encoders and decoders) are provided for delimited (using any char), fixed key & value length or fixed key length key/value pairs.
