Data types

There are several data types and a text-based serialization format for them used and carried by clSimpleMessage.

clData

A base class for data entities, introduces a data type identifier.

ID	Type class	Delimiter(s)
1	clDataStr	s
2	clDataBin	b
3	clDataList	[, ]
4	clDataLong	L
5	clDataStrRef	unknown
6	clDataRef	unknown

clDataStr

Format

All strings have the null termination byte at the end.

s<text>\0

clDataBin

The bytes are serialized in little-endian.

b<4 bytes of size><data>

clDataList

Format

A data list can include data of any types. The outer list does not have its delimiters.

[<any data>]

Example

Serialized buffer

73 32 00 73 31 00 73 31 00 5B 5D

Text representation

s2.s1.s1.[]

Deserialized equivalent

["2", "1", "1", []]

clDataLong

Format

Longs are represented as 4 bytes in little-endian order.

L<4 bytes>
