    BRD file structure

    I don't know if this is the correct place to ask about boardview software but
    I'm trying to figure out how openboardview software works; at the moment I'm concentrating on first version on visual c++ 2019.
    before analyzing the structure of the application I would like to understand the meaning of the data contained in a brd file
    I have decoded this format with using a code taken from github, I don't know if the result is correct but
    I have decoded this file (LB# 820-2879 ''Board View'' file.brd) and I think it should contain the following data:
    1 - number of component on a board
    2 - coordinate to locate the single component, the test point, etc
    3 - the component type, for example SOT23, SOT323, etc
    4 - the number of pins for each component
    5 - connections (net) between a pin to another pin
    etc
    I know the imgui is used to manage the graphics but I don't see any info about the type of component to draw
    In the picture I post, there is an extract of the decode BRD file (apple), someone can hel me to understand
    the structure of the file?
    thanks
