| Name| Description
| xref:BloombergLP/balber/BerEncoder/2constructor.adoc[`BerEncoder`]         [.small]#[constructor]#
| Construct an encoder object.
| xref:BloombergLP/balber/BerEncoder/2destructor.adoc[`~BerEncoder`] [.small]#[destructor]#
| Destroy this object. This destruction has no effect on objects pointed‐to by the pointers provided at construction.
| xref:BloombergLP/balber/BerEncoder/encode-07.adoc[`encode`] 
| `encode` overloads
| xref:BloombergLP/balber/BerEncoder/encodeAny-03.adoc[`encodeAny`] 
| `encodeAny` overloads
| xref:BloombergLP/balber/BerEncoder/errorSeverity-03.adoc[`errorSeverity`] 
| Return the severity of the most severe warning or error encountered during the last call to the `encode` method. The severity is reset each time `encode` is called.
| xref:BloombergLP/balber/BerEncoder/loggedMessages.adoc[`loggedMessages`] 
| Return a string containing any error, warning, or trace messages that were logged during the last call to the `encode` method.

| Name| Description
| `xref:BloombergLP/balber/BerEncoder_UseArrayLengthHintGuard.adoc[BloombergLP::balber::BerEncoder_UseArrayLengthHintGuard]`
| This class serves the purpose to set and reset the value of `d_useArrayLengthHint`.
| `xref:BloombergLP/balber/BerEncoder_LevelGuard.adoc[BloombergLP::balber::BerEncoder_LevelGuard]`
| This class serves the purpose to automatically increment‐decrement the current depth level.
| `xref:BloombergLP/balber/BerEncoder_UniversalElementVisitor.adoc[BloombergLP::balber::BerEncoder_UniversalElementVisitor]`
| Visitor for top‐level and array elements during BER encoding.
| `xref:BloombergLP/balber/BerEncoder_Visitor.adoc[BloombergLP::balber::BerEncoder_Visitor]`
| This class is used as a visitor for visiting contained objects during encoding. Produces always BER elements with CONTEXT_SPECIFIC BER tag.
| `xref:BloombergLP/balber/BerEncoder_encodeProxy.adoc[BloombergLP::balber::BerEncoder_encodeProxy]`
| Component‐private struct. Provides accessor that keeps current context and can be used in different `bdlat` Category Functions.
