BERT-JS is a first cut Javascript implementation of the BERT protocol. In other words, using BERT-JS, you can serialize data into a binary format that can then be de-serialized by Erlang directly into an Erlang term. (Or, by Ruby, as Tom has written a BERT library for Ruby.)
- Decoding floats is not yet supported.
- Bert.encode(Object) - Encode a Javascript object into BERT, return a String. The object can be a Boolean, Integer, Float, String, Array, Associative Array, or an Atom, Binary, or Tuple. (with the help of Bert.atom(), Bert.binary(), or Bert.tuple(), respectively).
- Bert.decode(String) - Decode a BERT string into a Javascript object. Atoms, Binaries, and Tuples are special objects. See code for structure.
- Bert.atom(String) - Create a Javascript object that will be encoded to an Atom.
- Bert.binary(String) - Create a Javascript object that will be encoded to an Binary.
- Bert.tuple(Element1, Element2, Element3, ...) - Create a Javascript object that will be encoded to a Tuple.
Note, below the return value is given in the form of an Erlang binary which can be fed into Erlang's binary_to_term/1. In reality, this returns a Javascript String with the ASCII values of the binary.
