Re: [Boost-users] Can boost help me organize/parse lots of binary data?

For example, consider the following horrible code. Is there a "boost" way to do this kind of thing... (perhaps Spirit/Karma is the answer and I am just more out of touch than I imagine):

OK, this is starting to look more like a serialization problem. You have serialized objects into a binary representation on your input stream and you need to deserialize them from the stream into your data structure.

Boost has a serialization library for this sort of thing, but I haven't used it myself.

Does this look more like what you need? http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/serialization/doc/index.html Hi Richard,

I've not used serialization either; however, I would assume it uses some sort of archive "coding" to represent a class which is probably not the same "coding" used by Chris' "live" binary data stream. Chris, what's the format of your binary data stream? -regards, Larry
