An Interpreter for ISO-8583

A Java library for generating and parsing ISO-8583 financial messages. It uses the builder pattern and provides complete flexibility to provide custom decoders and encoders.

Usage

To use the library, simply create an ISO8583 object and define the fields you need. You can then set the values for each field and build the ISO-8583 message object.

Here's an example:

ISO8583 builder = ISO8583.create()
    .setCharset(StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1)
    .setMessageLengthInterpreter(2, new HexMessageLengthInterpreter())
    .setHeader(TPDU.fromDecimal("60", "121", "121"), new TPDUHeaderInterpreter())
    .setMTI("0200", new BCDMTIInterpreter());

builder.defineField(2,
    BCD.create(LengthType.LL, 19, ContentPad.RIGHT_0)
        .setDescription("Primary Account Number")
        .setValueFormatter(new MaskCardNumber()));

// set values
builder.buildMessage().setValue(2, "6219861026599414");

// ...

Defining Fields

To define a field, use the defineField() method on your ISO8583 object. You'll need to provide the field number, data type, length, and any other necessary parameters.

For example:

builder.defineField(2,
    BCD.create(LengthType.LL, 19, ContentPad.RIGHT_0)
        .setDescription("Primary Account Number")
        .setValueFormatter(new MaskCardNumber()));

Setting Values

Once you've defined your fields, you can set their values using the setValue() method on your ISO-8583 message object.

For example:

Message message = builder.buildMessage();
message.setValue(2, "6219861026599414");

byte[] pack = message.pack();
