Library for encoding using optional informational elements in a given protocol. A TLV encoded data stream contains code related to the record type, the length of the record value, and finally the value itself.

How to use.

Serialize.

Example of object serialization in TLV. It is necessary to define annotations with a unique identifier in byte eg 0x01.

public class Authorization
{
    [TlvTag(Id = 0x01)]
    public string Id { get; set; }
    
    [TlvTag(Id = 0x02)]
    public string Authorizer { get; set; }
    
    [TlvTag(Id = 0x03)]
    public string Operation { get; set; }
}

Obs: The type is defined in byte.

Serialization

var bufferRx = TlvSerialize.Serialize(new Authorization
{
    Id = "001",
    Authorizer = "CIELO",
    Operation = "CREDIT"
});

Output: 010330303102054349454C4F0306435245444954

Type	Length	Value
0x01	3	303031
0x02	5	4349454C4F
0x03	6	435245444954

Deserialize.

Example of deserialization from TLV to object.

var content = TlvSerialize
    .Deserialize<Authorization>("010330303102054349454C4F0306435245444954");

Dump.

Dump from object.

var dumpRx = TlvSerialize.Dump(new Authorization
{
    Id = "001",
    Authorizer = "CIELO",
    Operation = "CREDIT"
});

001(003): 001
002(005): CIELO
003(006): CREDIT

Dump from Hex.

var dump = TlvSerialize
    .Dump("010330303102054349454C4F0306435245444954");

001(003): 001
002(005): CIELO
003(006): CREDIT
