ByteStream class

ByteStream class is the major class for all others. It provides many useful function for making search for patterns and data transformation. Optimized for fast as possible data processing.

Method	Description

fromHexString	Initialize "Stream" object from existing hexdecimal string
toHexString	Represent "Stream" object content as a hexdecimal string
copy	Return copy of existing "Stream"
slice	Return slice of existing "Stream"
realloc	Change size of existing "Stream"
append	Append a new "Stream" content to the current "Stream"
insert	Insert "Stream" content to the current "Stream" at specific position
isEqual	Check that two "Stream" objects has equal content
isEqualView	Check that current "Stream" objects has equal content with input "Uint8Array"
findPattern	Find any byte pattern in "Stream"
findFirstIn	Find first position of any pattern from input array
findAllIn	Find all positions of any pattern from input array
findAllPatternIn	Find all positions of a pattern
findFirstNotIn	Find first position of data, not included in patterns from input array
findAllNotIn	Find all positions of data, not included in patterns from input array
findFirstSequence	Find position of a sequence of any patterns from input array
findAllSequences	Find all positions of a sequence of any patterns from input array
findPairedPatterns	Find all paired patterns in the stream
findPairedArrays	Find all paired patterns in the stream
replacePattern	Replace one patter with other
skipPatterns	Skip any pattern from input array
skipNotPatterns	Skip any pattern not from input array

SeqStream class

SeqStream class is the aux class for sequential reading/writing data from/to ByteStream underline class.

copy	Return copy of existing "BitStream"
shrink	Shrink unnecessary bytes in current stream accordingly to "bitsCount" value
reverseBytes	Reverse bits order in each byte in the stream
reverseValue	Reverse all bits in entire "BitStream"
getNumberValue	Trying to represent entire "BitStream" as an unsigned integer
findPattern	Find any bit pattern in "BitStream"
findFirstIn	Find first position of any pattern from input array
findAllIn	Find all positions of any pattern from input array
findAllPatternIn	Find all positions of a pattern

skipPatterns	Skip any pattern from input array
skipNotPatterns	Skip any pattern not from input array
append	Append a new "BitStream" content to the current "BitStream"

SeqBitStream class

SeqBitStream class is the aux class for sequential reading/writing data from/to BitStream underline class.

Method	Description
getBits	Get next "length" bits from the stream
getBitsString	Get string representation for the next "length" bits from the stream
getBitsReversedValue	Get number value representation of the next "length" bits from the stream, preliminary reversed
toString	Represent remaining bits in "BitStream" as a string

parseByteMap functionality

The parseByteMap function is intended to parse and check byte streams with determinated structure.

Example of map used as a kind of template. Exactly this map is using for parsing PDF xref table:

let map = [
	{
		type: "string",
		name: "type",
		minlength: 1,
		maxlength: 1,
		func: function(array){
			let result = {
				status: (-1),
				length: 1
			};

			switch(array[0])
			{
				case 0x6E: // "n"
					result.value = "n";
					break;
				case 0x66: // "f"
					result.value = "f";
					break;
				default:
					return result;
			}

			result.status = 1;

			return result;
		}
	},
	{
		type: "check",
		minlength: 1,
		maxlength: 2,
		func: function(array){
			let position = (-1);

			if(array[0] == 0x0A)
				position = 1;
			if(array[1] == 0x0A)
				position = 2;

			return {
				status: (position > 0) ? 1 : (-1),
				length: position
			};
		}
	}
];
