BusinessData

BusinessData is a computer format for representing data structures in binary form. It is developed for duplication data of printed forms (questionnaires, contracts, accounting documents, permits, visa requests, etc.) into a machine-readable format, as a rule, into linear and two-dimensional barcodes with support for binary encoding (DataMatrix, PDF417, QR-code), and / or further saving this data in a separate column of the relational table database management system DBMS (NoSQL-approach).

Main differences

  • no predefined data structure is required for deserialization;
  • the ability to describe custom classes (business objects) using data annotation (attributes) and / or Fluent API;
  • support for historical data (chronology of changes in public fields of a custom class — a business object);
  • support for multidimensional and jagged arrays;
  • the ability to select a specialized encoding for each string field of a custom class — a business object;
  • predefined 4-bit encoding for storing identification data in various formats, for example: 46 91 012345, 910-001, 77:01:0001001:1025;
  • predefined 6-bit encodings for Russian, Kazakh and Ukrainian languages;
  • no dependence on third-party libraries (except system ones).

Data Encoding Structure

The format is based on a widely used method for writing binary data — type-length-value (TLV).

Supported Platforms

  • .NET Framework 4.6;
  • .NET Framework 4.7;
  • .NET Framework 4.7.1;
  • .NET Framework 4.7.2;
  • .NET Framework 4.8;
  • .NET Framework 4.8.1;
  • .NET 3.1 Core LTS;
  • .NET 6.0 LTS;
  • .NET 7.0 (experimental).

Supported data types

Simple (system) types

  • System.Boolean;
  • System.Byte;
  • System.Char;
  • System.DateOnly (for .NET 6.0 or greater);
  • System.DateTime;
  • System.DateTimeOffset;
  • System.Decimal;
  • System.Double;
  • System.Guid;
  • System.Int16;
  • System.Int32;
  • System.Int64;
  • System.UInt16;
  • System.UInt32;
  • System.UInt64;
  • System.SByte;
  • System.Single;
  • System.String;
  • System.TimeOnly (for .NET 6.0 or greater);
  • System.TimeSpan;

Enumeration

  • enum.

There is the possibility to select the mode of serializing the value of a field with an enumeration type as a number or as a string.

Arrays and lists

  • System.Collections.Generic.List<TValue> — lists.
  • System.Array — arrays (including multidimensional and jagged).

The value TValue can be of any supported data types.

Dictionaries

  • System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<TKey, TValue> — collection “key-value”;
  • System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> — pare “key-value”.

The TKey key can be one of the following data types:

  • System.Byte;
  • System.Char;
  • System.Guid;
  • System.Int16;
  • System.Int32;
  • System.Int64;
  • System.SByte;
  • System.String;
  • System.UInt16;
  • System.UInt32;
  • System.UInt64.

The value TValue can be of any supported data types.

User defined data types

  • Business objects are custom classes containing a public constructor without parameters and public properties.

Planned support

  • System.Net.IPAddress;
  • Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.SqlGeography;
  • Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.SqlGeometry;
  • Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.HierarchyId.

Not supported

Anonymous data types are not supported.
