Hsu.Formats.Abstractions

NuGet .NET Standard 2.0 .NET 8.0+ AOT Compatible Parser Converter Memory Image

Core abstractions shared by all Hsu.Formats packages.

What this package contains

  • parser contracts
  • conversion contracts
  • format-model marker interfaces
  • memory-image abstractions
  • shared exception types

Core Interfaces

Interface Purpose
IFormatModel Marker interface for every parsed model
IFormatParser Synchronous CanParse(Stream) + Parse(Stream) contract
IAsyncFormatParser Async parsing entry point layered on top of IFormatParser
IFilePathParser Parser variant that needs file-path context (for example include resolution)
IFormatConverter<TSource, TTarget> Strongly typed conversion contract
IMemoryImage Memory-image contract exposing IReadOnlyList<MemorySegment>

Domain Marker Interfaces

These markers group models by problem domain rather than by concrete file type:

  • ITraceLog
  • INetworkDescription
  • ICalibrationDescription
  • IDiagnosticDescription

Memory Model

MemorySegment is the shared building block for firmware-like formats.

  • Address is long
  • Data is the raw byte payload
  • EndAddress is derived from Address + Data.Length

This is why firmware-format code in the repo consistently uses 64-bit address arithmetic.

Exceptions

Shared exceptions currently include:

  • FormatParseException
  • FormatConversionException

Use them when surfacing structured parse/conversion failures from library code.

Usage

Implement a parser

using Hsu.Formats;

public sealed class MyParser : IFormatParser
{
    public bool CanParse(Stream stream)
    {
        var peek = new byte[4];
        int n = stream.Read(peek, 0, peek.Length);
        stream.Seek(-n, SeekOrigin.Current);
        return n >= 2 && peek[0] == 0xCA && peek[1] == 0xFE;
    }

    public IFormatModel Parse(Stream stream)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

Implement a converter

using Hsu.Formats;

public sealed class MyConverter : IFormatConverter<SourceModel, TargetModel>
{
    public bool CanConvert() => true;

    public bool CanConvert(Type source, Type target) =>
        source == typeof(SourceModel) && target == typeof(TargetModel);

    public TargetModel Convert(SourceModel source)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public object Convert(object source) => Convert((SourceModel)source);
}
