C API representing a collection of resource information pertaining to a given locale. A resource bundle provides a way of accessing locale- specific information in a data file. You create a resource bundle that manages the resources for a given locale and then ask it for individual resources.
The resource bundle file is a text (ASCII or Unicode) file with the format:
The tags are used to retrieve the data later. You may not have multiple instances of the same tag.locale { tag1 {...} tag2 {...} }
Four data types are supported. These are solitary strings, comma-delimited lists of strings, 2-dimensional arrays of strings, and tagged lists of strings.
Note that all data is textual. Adjacent strings are merged by the low-level tokenizer, so that the following effects occur: foo bar, baz // 2 elements, "foo bar", and "baz" "foo" "bar", baz // 2 elements, "foobar", and "baz" Note that a single intervening space is added between merged strings, unless they are both double quoted. This extends to more than two strings in a row.
Whitespace is ignored, as in a C source file.
Solitary strings have the format:
This is indistinguishable from a comma-delimited list with only one element, and in fact may be retrieved as such (as an array, or as element 0 or an array).Tag { Data }
Comma-delimited lists have the format:
Parsing is lenient; a final string, after the last element, is allowed.Tag { Data, Data, Data }
Tagged lists have the format:
Data is retrieved by specifying the subtag.Tag { Subtag { Data } Subtag {Data} }
Two-dimensional arrays have the format:
where n is the number of rows, and m is the number of columns. Parsing is lenient (as in other data types). A final comma is always allowed after the last element; either the last string in a row, or the last row itself. Furthermore, since there is no ambiguity, the commas between the rows are entirely optional. (However, if a comma is present, there can only be one comma, no more.) It is possible to have zero columns, as follows:TwoD { { r1c1, r1c2, ..., r1cm }, { r2c1, r2c2, ..., r2cm }, ... { rnc1, rnc2, ..., rncm } }
But it is impossible to have zero rows. The smallest array is thus a 1 x 0 array, which looks like this:Odd { {} {} {} } // 3 x 0 array
The array must be strictly rectangular; that is, each row must have the same number of elements.Smallest { {} } // 1 x 0 array
UResourceBundle. Resource bundle has a tree structure, where leaf nodes can be strings, binaries and integers while non-leaf nodes (including the root node) can be tables and arrays. One or more resource bundles are used to represent data needed by the application for running in the particular locale. Complete set of resource bundles for an application would contain all the data needed to run in intended locales.
If the data for the requested locale is missing, an effort will be made to obtain most usable data. This process is called fallback. Also, fallback happens when a resource is not present in the given bundle. Then, the other bundles in the fallback chain are also searched for the requested resource.
Retrieving data from resources is possible in several ways, depending on the type of the resources:
1) Access by a key: this approach works only for table resources
2) Access by an index: tables and arrays can be addressed by an index
3) Iteration: works for tables and arrays
To use data in resource bundles, following steps are needed:
1) opening a bundle for a particular locale:
Status allows, besides testing for plain error, to see whether fallback occured. There are two extra non error values for status after this operation: U_USING_FALLBACK_ERROR, which implies that the bundle for the requested locale was not found, but that one of the bundles in the fallback chain was used (de_AT and de in this case) and U_USING_DEFAULT_ERROR which implies that not one bundle in the fallback chain was found and that default locale was used. In any case, 'root' locale is always at the end of the chain.UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR; UResourceBundle* resB = ures_open("/datadir/resources/GUI", "de_AT_EURO", &status);
This is an example for using a possible custom resource:

close a resource bundle, all pointers returned from the various ures_getXXX calls on this particular bundle are INVALID henceforth.
|
|
Returns the number of strings/arrays in resource bundles.
|
|
returns a resource string, given a resource bundle and a key.
|
|
Returns a resource string which is part of a 2D array, given a resource bundle a key to the array and the index pair of the desired string.
|
|
Returns a resource string which is part of an array, given a resource bundle a key to the array and the index of the desired string.
|
|
returns a binary data from a resource. Can be used at most primitive resource types (binaries, strings, ints)
|
|
Returns the resource in a given resource at the specified index. Features a fill-in parameter.
|
|
Returns a resource in a given resource that has a given key. This procedure works only with table resources. Features a fill-in parameter.
|
|
returns an integer from a resource.
|
|
Returns the key associated with a given resource. Not all the resources have a key - only those that are members of a table.
|
|
Return the name of the Locale associated with this ResourceBundle.
|
|
|
|
Returns the next resource in a given resource or NULL if there are no more resources to iterate over. Features a fill-in parameter.
|
|
Returns the next string in a given resource or NULL if there are no more resources to iterate over.
|
|
|
|
Returns the size of a resource. Size for scalar types is always 1, and for vector/table types is the number of child resources.
|
|
returns a string from a string resource type.
|
|
Returns the string in a given resource at the specified index.
|
|
Returns a string in a given resource that has a given key. This procedure works only with table resources.
|
|
|
|
Returns a resource string which is part of a tagged array, given a resource bundle a key to the array and the key of the desired string.
|
|
Returns the type of a resource. Available types are defined in enum UResType
|
|
|
|
Return the version number associated with this ResourceBundle. This version number is a string of the form MAJOR.MINOR, where MAJOR is the version number of the current analytic code package, and MINOR is the version number contained in the resource file as the value of the tag "Version". A change in the MINOR version indicated an updated data file. A change in the MAJOR version indicates a new version of the code which is not binary-compatible with the previous version. If no "Version" tag is present in a resource file, the MINOR version "0" is assigned. For example, if the Collation sort key algorithm changes, the MAJOR version increments. If the collation data in a resource file changes, the MINOR version for that file increments.
