Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for use in applying an update to a communication protocol in a software application that is executed by a computing device are described herein. The computing device receives a protocol definition corresponding to a communication protocol and indicating positions of data elements within data objects corresponding to the communication protocol. When the computing device determines that the received protocol definition differs from a previous protocol definition corresponding to the communication protocol, the computing device creates a machine-executable object parser based on the received protocol definition. The machine-executable object parser is accessible to a software application executed by the computing device. The software application receives a data object corresponding to the communication protocol, and the computing device executes the machine-executable object parser to parse at least a portion of the data elements in the data object received by the software application.
