API In CPP

This is written in C++. The code is based highly on the code from API In C. I like the way this was done in respect to how easy it is to send a command and get a block of sentences back that are easily parsed.

I have removed all the memory leaks and converted it entirely to C++. There is only a few places using any memory allocation and that is mostly in the encoding as its much easier to do with dynamic char arrays. I have made it so it can be compiled in Xcode for use in Obj C++ and should work fine in any other platform with little or no extra work.

This implementation relies on the MD5 digest calculation functions written by Aladdin Enterprises ([1]). An endian test (big/little endian) is also used courtesy GRASS Development Team ([2]). All functions/libraries used from other sources are available under open licenses such as GNU Public License.

Features: Written using C++ Leak Free Supports *nix Platforms including Mac Sentences will return a map object (so no parsing needed really)

  Independent implementation of MD5 (RFC 1321).

  This code implements the MD5 Algorithm defined in RFC 1321, whose
  text is available at
	http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1321.txt
  The code is derived from the text of the RFC, including the test suite
  (section A.5) but excluding the rest of Appendix A.  It does not include
  any code or documentation that is identified in the RFC as being
  copyrighted.

  <ghost@aladdin.com>.  Other authors are noted in the change history
  that follows (in reverse chronological order):

  2002-04-13 lpd Removed support for non-ANSI compilers; removed
	references to Ghostscript; clarified derivation from RFC 1321;
	now handles byte order either statically or dynamically.
  1999-11-04 lpd Edited comments slightly for automatic TOC extraction.
  1999-10-18 lpd Fixed typo in header comment (ansi2knr rather than md5);
	added conditionalization for C++ compilation from Martin
	Purschke <purschke@bnl.gov>.
  1999-05-03 lpd Original version.

Mikrotik API Types header file (MikrotikAPITypes.h)

This is the API Types header file. This file contains the Sentence and Block classes.

Notes:

  • DEBUG flag is defined for debugging purposes...generates alot of internal data via printf
  • NONE, DONE, TRAP and FATAL constants are defined
  • Use void GetMap(int index, std::map<std::string, std::string> &sentenceMap); method for getting a map of words for a sentence.
    • Each word in a sentence is stored as a string. Sentence structs contain individual API words (stored as an vector of strings).
    • Block structs represent the full API response...an array of sentences. Blocks are not defined in the Mikrotik API specs, but are a convenient way to represent a full API response in the context of this implementation.

 Original Author: Joey Gentry (www.Murderdev.com)
 Feel freel to ask me questions but I can't guarantee I will be able to answer them all. 
 No warranties are provided with this
 code. This was written/converted for my iPhone app to allow accessing a Mikrotik router. 
 The app is called Winbox Mobile for those who are interested.
 
 This is written in C++. The code is based highly on the code from 
  http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/API_in_C. I like the way this was done in respect to how easy 
  it is to send a command and get a block of sentences back that are easily parsed.
 
 I have removed all the memory leaks and converted it entirely to C++. There is only a few 
 places using any memory allocation and that is mostly in the encoding as its much easier 
 to do with dynamic char arrays. I have made it so it can be compiled in Xcode for use in 
 Obj C++ and should work fine in any other platform with little or no extra work.
 
 This implementation relies on the MD5 digest calculation functions written by 
 Aladdin Enterprises http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmd5-rfc/files/. An endian test 
 (big/little endian) is also used courtesy GRASS Development Team  
 http://download.osgeo.org/grass/grass6_progman/endian_8c.html. All functions/libraries used 
 from other sources are available under open licenses such as GNU Public License.
 
 Features:
 Written using C++
 Leak Free
 Supports *nix Platforms including Mac
 Sentences will return a map object (so no parsing needed really)
