Internal jBinary Methods

• getType(type): Returns preconfigured jBinary.Type instance from given descriptor.

// Example:
var jbType = binary.getType(['string', 30]);

• getContext(filter): Get object context specified by filter. Possible filter types:
  • not set - current context will be returned.
  • number - filter will be used as relative depth (0 is current context, 1 for parent and so on).
  • string - will look for closest context that contains property name equal to filter.
  • function - will be used as boolean function (true to stop) while bubbling up through contexts.

// Example:
var currentContext = binary.getContext(); // current object that value belongs to
var parentContext = binary.getContext(1); // one level up
var contextWithID = binary.getContext('id'); // first context with "id" property (bubbling up)
var contextWithID1 = binary.getContext(function (context) { return context.id === 1 }); // first context that matches custom condition

• inContext(newContext, callback): Steps into given context and executes function inside it.
