Enhancement: encoding and/or Javascript drivers

[simonh1000]

FYI: I've incorporated your code into this code.

Would love to see the code in javascript so that it can run natively on a nodejs system, as I'm not sure where to find cheap hosting that also includes Java.

My app seeks to read, edit and write, and the latter does not seem to be included in this library at present, correct?

The source code for the fit file type is closed source and there is no spec laying around. It's totally proprietary - somebody would need to reverse engineer the jar file and figure out how it works to write a JS version. I actually have a lot of experience in reverse engineering jar files but I don't have time to put towards this anytime soon

OK, I've posted a question on the ANT developers forum instead

[simonh1000]

There may be hope. ANT provide an SDK that includes, in FitSDKRelease13.10/java/com/garmin/fit, a file called FileEncoder.java. But I don't know Java so I can't determine exactly whether it is what we need. How did you make your decoding code?

[yocontra]

@simonh1000 I made a jarfile that outputs json from the fit sdk and used node-java to control it. If you make a jarfile that takes json input and puts it into the fit sdk and use node-java I will take a PR

[simonh1000]

I don't know any Java, so ideally I would need your wrapper code to see how I could expand it to include an encoder

[yocontra]

@simonh1000 Take the jar out of the repo and open it in a java decompiler because I lost that code a long time ago

@simonh1000 JD-GUI http://jd.benow.ca/ is one option

Would love to know whether there is a fix here now?
