Re: [SR-Users] Accessing Transformations in KEMI

By way of further answer: Kamailio’s transformations exist in order to provide some semblance of string utility & parsing functions to a custom, from-ground-up programming language that wouldn’t otherwise possess them, for lack of a standard library that general-purpose programming languages have. It has no built-in string primitives with accessor and mutator functions of various kinds[1], no String object with manipulation methods, no len(), no split(), etc. The transformations are Kamailio config script’s effort to provide a subset of this sort of capability that is most useful for processing SIP messages. Things like {tobody.user} exist in Kamailio because there’s literally* no other way to do that. The whole point of doing Kamailio config scripting through KEMI in a more general language is to be able to leverage those general language capabilities, along with other libraries or modules, hot reload, etc. — Alex [1] Outside of the blunt instruments of textops* and friends. -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/
