Oakrey.Capsule.Metadata

Overview

The Capsule.Metadata library is a .NET 8-based framework designed for managing metadata in a structured and extensible manner. It provides a robust system for defining, serializing, and deserializing metadata records, making it ideal for applications requiring detailed data annotations, such as IoT, telemetry, and data logging.

Features

Metadata Management:

  • MetaCapsule for encapsulating multiple metadata records.
  • Support for up to 255 metadata records per capsule.

Data Types:

  • Support for various data types, including strings, booleans, integers, floats, and doubles.
  • Extensible DataType enumeration for defining custom data types.

Serialization and Deserialization:

  • Serialize metadata into binary format for efficient storage and transmission.
  • Deserialize binary payloads into metadata objects using MetaDataFactory.

Metadata Records:

  • Abstract MetaData<T> class for defining metadata with a key, value, and unit.
  • StringMetaData implementation for managing string-based metadata.

Units:

  • Unit enumeration for specifying units of measurement (e.g., seconds, dimensionless).

Extensibility:

  • Interface IMetaData for creating custom metadata types.
  • Factory pattern for adding support for new data types.
