Corda Blob Inspection

This is a best effort attempt at a C++ implemention of the CORDA serialization framework in a non JVM language. The initial target is a working "blob inspector", that is an exe that can take a serialised blob from a vault (or other) and decode it using C++.

Currently Working

An implementation of a "blob inspector" that can take a serialised blob and decode it into a printable JSON format where that blob contains a constrained set of types. The current limitation with this implementation is that it does not understand associative containers (maps).

Fututre Work

• Encode and decode of local C++ types
• Decpdable encode of native types
• Some schema generation from the JVM canonical source

Dependencies

• qpid-proton
• C++17
• gtest
• cmake

Setup

MacOS

• brew install cmake
• brew install qpid-proton

Google Test

• git clone https://github.com/google/googletest
• cd googletest
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake ..
• make
• make install

Linux (Ubuntu)

• sudo apt-get install cmake
• sudo apt-get install libqpid-proton8-dev
• sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev

And now because that installer only pulls down the sources

• cd /usr/src/googletest
• sudo cmake .
• sudo cmake --build . --target install
