Table Master Parser

The Blue Chip Bridge Table Manager Protocol, allows bridge programs to communicate with each other in order to play bridge. ASCII messages (terminated with a CRLF) are exchanged over TCP/IP.

This package parses the ASCII message and produces a javascript object representation commonly called an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).

Use the online parser to see the results of parsing a message.

Documentation on each message is automatically produced by this package. The change log is automatically produced with the help of semantic-release.
