Storage Stream Library

The Storage Stream Library is designed to facilitate reading and writing both binary and text data, providing support for a dozen built-in frame formats.

Based on a multi-level hierarchy that allows frames to be structured inside other frames, this Delphi component can be used in 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows XP up to Windows 10, as well as other operating systems, both mobile and desktop-based, such as OSX, iOS, Android and Linux. Moreover, it ensures compatibility with any development environment with support for COM classes.

Developers state that the Storage Stream Library is basically a "create your own file format" component, since it reads and writes various metadata and binary stream formats, storing presets, settings and other data. In other words, it allows customized frame contents, accessing all the data inside frames as a TMemoryStream. Storage Stream Library can group and compress frames, save the stream to a standard TStream or send it over network or store it in a database.

There is a tutorial binary application inside the downloaded package, so that you can test the functionality of the component and test its capabilities. You can use it to generate frames containing text data, integers or float numbers, GEOB data, URLs and TStreams.

It is worth noting that Storage Stream Library comes with built-in XOR or DES encryption support (based on OpenSSL) and allows data integrity checking. It fetaures Unicode support and delivers COM class DLL components, which makes it compatible with any programming environment with support for COM classes.
