Device for serializing tree-like data structure in serial data flow for flight booking application, has serializing unit serializing data structure in serial data flow, where associated identifier is written in flow during serializing nodes

摘要

The device (100) has a configuration unit (101) providing configuration data (30) e.g. XML-configuration data, which specify associated static nodes structure for nodes of specific type. The data associates the nodes structure to an identifier. A serializing unit (102) serializes a tree-like data structure (10) in a serial data flow (20). The data structure runs corresponding to a preset nodes arrangement. The associated identifier is written in the serial data flow during serializing the nodes. A tag for indicating the nodes type is written in the data flow during serializing the nodes. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for serializing a tree-like data structure in a corresponding serial data flow (2) a method for deserializing a serial data flow in a corresponding tree-like data structure (3) a computer program for performing a method for serializing tree-like data structure in a corresponding serial data flow (4) a computer program for deserializing a serial data flow in a corresponding tree-like data structure (5) a communication system comprising a device for deserializing a serial data flow in a corresponding tree-like data structure (6) a communication method for transmitting a tree-like data structure.
