Using another Parser or Packer

Foster itself contains the XML parser and No Compression packer as default.

To use another parser or packer in Foster Manager, you have to register it first. Registration should be used before doing anything withg the parser or packer itself. To register, simply add this code: new [Parser/Packer Name]().Register();

To use another parser or packer in Foster Manager, you have to edit the source code and compile Foster Manager all by yourself. Start this process by cloning the repository to a folder. Use either Git (git clone https://github.com/haltroy/Foster.git) or a Git helper (such as GitHub Desktop App). Then, in Foster Manager\Program.cs file, edit the void HookParserAndPackers() and add your own custom parser/packer registration code (mentioned before) to the code. Then, just compile it (python build.py) or run it (dotnet run -- [Your arguments here]) On default, Foster Manager additionally contains these packers and parsers:

• XML Parser
• GZip Compression Packer
• Deflate Compression Packer
