# dbc parser skeleton

A minimal DBC parser skeleton for the **FrameTap** project.

The purpose of this module is to read a DBC file and convert it into a simple internal representation that can later be:

- displayed as a tree
- connected to `Qt Model/View`
- used for signal selection
- extended toward runtime CAN frame decoding

---

## Overview

The architecture is intentionally simple:

1. `dbc_parser` reads a DBC file
2. parsed data is stored in `DbcDatabase`
3. `dbc_tree_builder` converts it into a `TreeNode` hierarchy
4. the resulting tree can later be adapted to `QAbstractItemModel`

This keeps the parser independent from Qt and makes it easier to test and evolve.
