libcmml
0.9.1
|
libcmml is a library that provides a complete programming interface including functions, data structures, and sloppy or strict error handling to parse a XML file in CMML. CMML is the Continuous Media Markup Language defined as part of the Continuous Media Web project (see http://www.annodex.net/software/libcmml/).
libcmml also includes the following command-line tools:
The version of CMML that this version of libcmml supports is CMML 2.0 . It has the following features:
To learn more about CMML and how to write a CMML file, check out the Modules documentation.
libcmml is developed in C under Linux and OS X but is easily portable. A Visual C++ MS Windows port is included in the tarball.
libcmml uses expat for parsing XML. Get the appropriate version for your OS from http://expat.sourceforge.net/.
libcmml uses doxygen to create documentation and docbook to create manpages.
To install on Linux, OS X, and other Unix-like OSs run the usual configure, make, make install sequence. Full details in the INSTALL file.
To install on MS Windows you have the choice between a MS Visual Studio version 6 workspace file, a MS Visual Studio version 7 solution, and using nmake with the Win32/Makefile file. Full details in the README.win32 file.
The libcmml API documentation can be found here. The API of libcmml is based on a convenient callback based framework for parsing CMML files. This enables activation of actions for the stream, head and clip tags while reading a CMML file. After opening a CMML file for reading, you attach callbacks to each of these types of tags. Then, as bytes are read, libcmml will call your callbacks as appropriate. Check out the code examples to gain a better understanding.
The DTD for CMML can be found here: here.
