The Apache Daffodil community is pleased to announce the release of version 3.8.0.
Notable changes in this release include a supported API for Daffodil layers. Layers are a Daffodil extension to the DFDL language which are small algorithmic code plugins for computing checksums/CRCs on regions of data, or for performing data encoding/decoding such as base64, line folding, or compress/decompress on regions of data. Detailed release notes and downloads are available at: https://daffodil.apache.org/releases/3.8.0/ Apache Daffodil is an open-source implementation of the DFDL specification that uses DFDL data descriptions to parse fixed format data into an infoset. This infoset is commonly converted into XML or JSON to enable the use of well-established XML or JSON technologies and libraries to consume, inspect, and manipulate fixed format data in existing solutions. Daffodil is also capable of serializing or "unparsing" data back to the original data format. The DFDL infoset can also be converted directly to/from the data structures carried by data processing frameworks so as to bypass any XML/JSON overheads.
