// Parse vehicle speed (50 km/h)
const speed = parseOBDResponse("41 0D 32");

// { mode: '41', pid: '0D', name: 'vss', unit: 'km/h', value: 50 }

// Parse engine RPM (1726 RPM)
const rpm = parseOBDResponse("41 0C 1A F8");
console.log(rpm);

### PID Information Lookup

```typescript
import { getPIDInfo } from "obd-raw-data-parser";

const pidInfo = getPIDInfo("0C");
console.log(pidInfo);
/* Output:
{
  mode: '01',
  pid: '0C',
  name: 'rpm',
  description: 'Engine RPM',
  min: 0,
  max: 16383.75,
  unit: 'rev/min',
  bytes: 2
}
*/
```

### VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) Decoding

```typescript
import { VinDecoder } from "obd-raw-data-parser";

// Process segmented VIN response (common format)
const segmentedResponse = '014\r0:49020157304C\r1:4A443745433247\r2:42353839323737\r\r>';
const vin1 = VinDecoder.processVINResponse(segmentedResponse);
console.log(vin1); // 'W0LJD7EC2GB589277'

// Process non-segmented hex format
const hexResponse = '49020157304C4A443745433247423538393237373E';
const vin2 = VinDecoder.processVINSegments(hexResponse);
console.log(vin2); // 'W0LJD7EC2GB589277'

// Process VIN from byte array format
const byteArrayResponse = [
  [48,49,52,13,48,58,52,57,48,50,48,49,53,55,51,48,52,67,13],
  [49,58,52,65,52,52,51,55,52,53,52,51,51,50,52,55,13],
  [50,58,52,50,51,53,51,56,51,57,51,50,51,55,51,55,13],
  [13,62]
];
const vin3 = VinDecoder.processVINByteArray(byteArrayResponse);
console.log(vin3); // 'W0LJD7EC2GB589277'

// Validate if response contains VIN data
console.log(VinDecoder.isVinData('0902')); // true
console.log(VinDecoder.isVinData('490201')); // true

// Validate a VIN string
console.log(VinDecoder.validateVIN('W0LJD7EC2GB589277')); // true
console.log(VinDecoder.validateVIN('INVALID-VIN')); // false
```

The VIN decoder supports multiple raw data formats:
- Segmented responses (with line numbers and colons)
- Non-segmented hex string format
- Byte array format
- Multiple standards (0902, 490201)

All decoding methods include built-in validation and error handling, returning `null` for invalid inputs.

### DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) Decoding

```typescript
import { DTCBaseDecoder } from "obd-raw-data-parser";

// Create a decoder instance for CAN protocol
const canDecoder = new DTCBaseDecoder({
  isCan: true, // Use CAN protocol
  serviceMode: "03", // Mode 03 for current DTCs
  troubleCodeType: "CURRENT", // Type of DTCs being decoded
  logPrefix: "MyApp", // Optional prefix for logs
});

// Example: Decoding current DTCs from CAN response
const rawBytes = [[0x43, 0x02, 0x01, 0x43, 0x01, 0x96, 0x02, 0x34]];
const dtcs = canDecoder.decodeDTCs(rawBytes);
console.log(dtcs); // ['P0143', 'P0196', 'P0234']

// Create a decoder for non-CAN protocol and pending DTCs
const nonCanDecoder = new DTCBaseDecoder({
  isCan: false,
  serviceMode: "07", // Mode 07 for pending DTCs
  troubleCodeType: "PENDING",
  logPrefix: "MyApp",
});

// Parse DTC status byte
const status = canDecoder.parseDTCStatus(0x8c);
console.log(status);
/* Output:
{
  milActive: true,        // Malfunction Indicator Lamp status
  dtcCount: 12,          // Number of DTCs
  currentError: false,
  pendingError: false,
  confirmedError: true,
  egrSystem: true,
  oxygenSensor: false,
  catalyst: false
}
*/
```

## 📈 Real-World Example

```typescript
import { parseOBDResponse } from "obd-raw-data-parser";

// Create a real-time dashboard
class VehicleDashboard {
  update(rawData: string) {
    const data = parseOBDResponse(rawData);

    switch (data.pid) {
      case "0C": // RPM
        this.updateTachometer(data.value);
        break;
      case "0D": // Speed
        this.updateSpeedometer(data.value);
        break;
      // ... handle other parameters
    }
  }
}
```

## 💝 Special Thanks

This library would not have been possible without the excellent work done by [obd-utils](https://github.com/Nishkalkashyap/obd-utils). A huge thank you to [@Nishkalkashyap](https://github.com/Nishkalkashyap) for creating the original implementation that inspired this library.

The OBD-II PID definitions, conversion algorithms, and core parsing logic are based on their excellent work. We've built upon their foundation to create a TypeScript-first, fully tested implementation with additional features and improvements.

If you're interested in OBD-II development, we highly recommend checking out their original work.

### Flow Explanation

1. **Input Handling**: Accepts raw OBD-II responses in multiple formats
2. **Error Filtering**: Immediate return for known non-data responses
3. **Byte Processing**: Normalizes input format for consistent parsing
4. **Mode Detection**: Routes to appropriate decoding logic
5. **PID Resolution**: Matches to 150+ predefined parameter configurations
6. **Safety Checks**: Includes 3-level validation:
   - Bitmask verification
   - Range boundary checks
   - Type conversion fallbacks
7. **DTC Handling**: Specialized path for fault code extraction
8. **Output Generation**: Standardized format for all parameters
