SabreTools.Serialization/SabreTools.Wrappers

SabreTools.Wrappers

This library contains "wrapper" classes that combine both a model type and a reader with extension properties and methods. Models are defined in SabreTools.Data.Models and readers are defined in SabreTools.Serialization.Readers.

Common extension functionality includes:

• Exposing model fields
• Transformed model fields and generated properties
• Extension methods for reference or conversion
• Format information printing
• Content extraction

Wrapper classes can inherit from one or more interfaces, as seen in the table below:

Interface Name	Purpose
SabreTools.Wrappers.IExtractable	Marks a wrapper as able to be extracted
SabreTools.Wrappers.IPrintable	Marks a wrapper as able to print model information
SabreTools.Wrappers.IWrapper	REQUIRED Represents an item with a description and JSON serializable state, allowing for extensions
SabreTools.Wrappers.IWrapper<TModel>	Wraps a TModel with source data, allowing for extensions

Additional Information

The following projects have influenced this library:

• libmspack - Documentation around the MS-CAB format and associated compression methods.
• Unshield - InstallShield CAB extraction tool that influenced internal handling

The following non-project libraries (or ports thereof) are used for file handling:

• GrindCore.SharpCompress - Common archive format extraction
• StormLibSharp - MoPaQ extraction [Unused in non-Windows builds due to Windows-specific libraries]
