Usage

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        // Create code
        IataCode code = new Parser().parse("M1DESMARAIS/LUC       EABC123 YULFRAAC 0834 226F001A0025 100");
        
        // Print code
        try (OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(System.out))
        {
            IataCodes.walk(code, new Printer(new SpecificationFormatter(), writer));
        }
    }
}

Strict Mode

A parser may be configured to strictly validate the supplied code according to the allowed types & values defined in Resolution 792. When enabled any value outside an allowed range for that element will throw a exception detailing the problem.

To enable "strict mode" do the following:

Parser strictParser = new Parser().strict(); // Returns a new parser with strict mode enabled.
