A2L-Parser
A2L files are a key part of MC systems. Integrating support for these files in your software is easy thanks to our robust, standard-compliant component.
Use A2L files in the most performant and comfortable way
The A2L Parser component reads and analyzes A2L files, using heavily tested code fully compatible with the ASAM MCD-2 MC standard. Using A2L files in your software has never been faster and easier.
Key features
Read and parse A2L files
Get access to all the contents of the A2L file in a structured way. The API does all the heavy lifting and takes care of all the quirks so that you can focus on the data.
A2ML support is also included
Many A2L files have valuable data embedded in IF_DATA blocks. Our API reads and parses selected IF_DATA blocks and hands over the structured contents.
Editable backend
Modify A2L structures using the API and write back a well-formed A2L file.
Additional features
End-user friendly
Warnings and errors can be translated into multiple languages and they include contextual information to find the root cause of the problem.
Full support of /include
Do you need to ignore includes? Resolve them from the same folder? Or from a different folder? Maybe from a database or a remote system? The include resolution API is completely flexible.
SQLite-backend
Cache the A2L parsed data in a database. After restarting the program, load the A2L data quickly without having to reparse the file.
Heavily tested
There are over 23.000 unit tests in place and we have sucessfully tested it against thousands of A2L files. This library is a core component for our own commercial products.
