Xcarecrows 4 H323 - H.323 edition made easy

Features

Capitalizing on the development by Cogenit of its own ASN.1 compiler, Xcarecrows 4 H323 for Eclipse is designed to ease the development of VoIP applications when it comes to test and analysis in the demanding field of the H.323 multimedia protocol. Xcarecrows 4 H323 offers:

• decoding of H.323 messages ;
• encoding of H.323 messages ;
• tree structured edition of H.323 messages ;
• structured comparison of H.323 messages ;
• bidirectional H.323 to XML translater.

User interaction

Beyond its careful protocol processing, Xcarecrows 4 H323 avoids the hassles of the steep learning curve incumbent to the usual H.323 programming libraries. Instead of wasting time on the innards of a low-level application programmer interface, the tight coupling of Cogenit's tools with the integrated development environment of Eclipse focuses the user attention on the core of the H.323 business.

Validation

Xcarecrows 4 H323 performs a strong type checking of the messages that it handles. To relieve the edition of complex H.323 structures and produce early accurate messages, Xcarecrows 4 H323 guides the user through the choice of H.323 protocol elements.

Integration

At the edge of Xcarecrows 4 H323, the XML documents allow a seamless integration of the telecommunication protocol with external applications. Backed by the availability of widely used tools from several independent providers, XML stands as the de-facto standard for data exchange between modern applications. Cogenit's commitment to standard document formats enables the Xcarecrows 4 H323 plugin to close the gap between a specialized protocol as H.323 and the expectations of fast-paced application development life cycles.

Architecture

Xcarecrows 4 H323 leverages the versatility of XML and ASN.1 through a coherent set of tools which conforms to the highest levels of standard. XML Encoding Rules (XER) stand at the heart of the plugin to tie together the formal ASN.1 description of the H.323 protocol and the handling abilities of XML documents. The editing and comparison features of Xcarecrows 4 XML are inherited by Xcarecrows 4 H323. Fruit of Cogenit's work, the ASN.1 compiler is responsible for translating the H.323 messages between the ASN.1 PER format and the XER format.
