Module imessage_database::util::typedstream

source ·
Expand description

Contains logic and data structures used to parse and deserialize typedstream data into native Rust data structures.

§Overview

The typedstream format is a binary serialization protocol designed for C and Objective-C data structures. It is primarily used in Apple’s Foundation framework, specifically within the NSArchiver and NSUnarchiver classes.

§Origin

The format is derived from the data structure used by NeXTSTEP’s NXTypedStream APIs.

§Features

  • Pure Rust implementation for efficient and safe deserialization
  • No dependencies on Apple frameworks
  • Robust error handling for malformed or incomplete typedstream data

Modules§

  • models
    Data structures and models used by the typedstream parser.
  • parser
    Logic used to deserialize data from a typedstream, focussing specifically on NSAttributedString.
