Schema-based dynamic parse/build engine for parsing multi-format messages
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a server computer, an input message comprising a plurality of fields;
determining, by the server computer, a schema for the input message;
retrieving, by the server computer, a plurality of handlers based on the schema, wherein each handler is code for building at least one field of a common internal message format object from at least one field of the input message, and wherein each of the plurality of handlers is separately compiled; and
translating, by the server computer, the input message into the common internal message format object using the plurality of handlers.

Abstract
A parse/build engine that can handle multi-format financial messages. The engine converts the different format messages into a common format, and the common format message is then processed by the business service application. A parser examines the message and determines an appropriate schema for the particular format of message received. The schema is a data structure in a schema registry that includes a grammar structure for the received format as well as pointers to handlers for converting the different fields of the message into the internal message format using the grammar structure (the “grammar” can include field sequence, field type, length, character encoding, optional and required fields, etc.). The handlers are individually compiled. As formats change, new formats or changes to old formats can be dynamically added to the parse/build engine by loading new schema and handlers.
