README
idf-parser
Rust library for parsing Intermediate Data Format files used in PCB design.
The IDF specification describes three file types:
- Board file
.emn: Contains the board outline and component placement. - Panel file
.emn: Contains the panel outline and board placement. - Library file
.emp: Contains the component library.
Example usage:
use idf_parser::parse_board_file;
use idf_parser::parse_library_file;
let board = parse_board_file("src/test_files/board.emn").unwrap();
let panel = parse_board_file("src/test_files/panel.emn").unwrap();
let library = parse_library_file("src/test_files/library.emp").unwrap();
Currently, this only supports the IDF 3.0 format, given its wide adoption with version 4.0 being a newer standard that is not widely used yet.
Limitations
- Only the IDF 3.0 format is supported.
- Only tested with a small number of IDF files,
Requests
If you are interested in contributing the following would be very helpful:
- If you have an IDF file that does not parse correctly, please open an issue with the file attached.
- Assist in implementation of the IDF 4.0 and 2.0 formats.
