erl_nbt is a library which can manipulate NBT (Named Binary Tag) data.
It can decode binary NBT data to an Erlang Map. It can encode data in an Erlang Map to binary NBT data.
Currently, the decoding limits of an NBT tag are fixed (see erl_nbt.hrl).
In future versions of this library, the decoding limits will be
modifiable via options given to the decode function.
The maximum amount of nested compound tags when decoding an NBT binary is currently set at 256.
The maximum amount of children under a compound tag when decoding an NBT binary is currently set at 1024.
Examples of how to use the library can be found under the test directory,
or on the documentation page usage.edoc
The mapping of NBT types to Erlang types can be found below:
| NBT Type | Description | Erlang Type |
|---|---|---|
| Byte | 8-bit signed integer | erlang:integer() |
| Short | 16-bit signed integer | erlang:integer() |
| Int | 32-bit signed integer | erlang:integer() |
| Long | 64-bit signed integer | erlang:integer() |
| Float | 32-bit signed float | erlang:float() |
| Double | 64-bit signed float | erlang:float() |
| String | List of characters | erlang:string() |
