Embedded systems often need to communicate with other devices and parse data from them. However, parsing complex data structures can be challenging and inefficient for embedded systems with limited resources. Bonezegei Search is a simple and lightweight library for Arduino that allows extracting key values from single strings using a delimiter and a separator. For example, a string like "motor1=100, motor2=50, sensor1=25.4" can be parsed by Bonezegei Search using "," as the delimiter and "=" as the separator. The library returns the value associated with a given key as a string, which can then be converted to the appropriate data type. Bonezegei Search can be useful for applications such as robotics, IoT, and sensor networks, where embedded systems need to process data from other devices quickly and reliably.

1. Bonezegei Search Basic Usage example
Retrieve values from a single string
/* Author: Jofel Batutay (Bonezegei) Date: July 2023 Usage Sample Simple Array keyword Search Search the keyword in an array and returns its value. The keyword must be unique in the array if the keyword exist multiple times in the array the function will only return the value of the first keyword The Library returns the following data types (int, float, char*) */ #include <Bonezegei_Search.h> //data string char *data = "device=100 Temperature=78.21 name=Bonezegei Search ; "; Bonezegei_Search search; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println("\nBonezegei Search Usage Sample\n"); // returns integer Value (param1,param2) // param1 = array source // param2 = the keyword int valueInt = search.getInt(data, "device"); Serial.print("\"device\": "); Serial.println(valueInt); //returns float Value float valueFLoat = search.getFloat(data, "Temperature"); Serial.print("\"Temperature\": "); Serial.println(valueFLoat); //returns the first word of the string String valueString1 = search.getString(data, "name"); Serial.print("\"name\": "); Serial.println(valueString1); //returns the words of the string until the end character // getString(param1,param2,param3) // param1 = array source // param2 = the keyword // param3 = end character String valueString2 = search.getString(data, "name", ';'); Serial.print("\"name\": "); Serial.println(valueString2); } void loop() { // put your main code here, to run repeatedly: }
