Possibility to parse DBCs represented as strings

[cosmin-radu]

Hi everyone,

We want to reuse CANBabel library for a Java project in order to parse DBC stored in a database and then reuse the obtained details of parsed signals for different manipulations.

However, I saw the library allows only to parse a DBC from files, but, in my case, the content of the DBC is stored as a string. Also, I saw the internal field of the DbcReader (bus) wasn't exposed outside, so I couldn't use the obtained details.

I have created #13 PR that solves the issues (my editor also did automatically some extra changes for imports + casts).

Could you integrate the changes?

Thanks in advance!

Hello.

Do you think you can find a bit of time to take a look at this and merge it?

Thanks! 🙂

Hello Cosmin, the code provided does not contain any tests or test classes to prove that your code works correctly in case of regression. If you want me to consider a merge, add test classes and change the code only in places where it is really necessary. BR Jens

Hi Jens!

I made a new PR, #15, where I let only the necessary changes and I add a test for parsing a string with DbcReader. Could you take a look to merge it?

Thanks!
