mcdp-format2-rs

A Rust library for loading and saving datasets in the MCDP V2 format.

Overview

mcdp-format2-rs is a Rust implementation for parsing and handling MCDP format version 2 files. It supports multiple serialization formats including JSON, YAML, and CBOR, with optional gzip compression.

Features

• Multiple Format Support: JSON, YAML, CBOR with optional gzip compression
• Pattern-based File Discovery: Find MCDP files using glob patterns
• Command-line Interface: Built-in CLI tool for parsing and validation
• Comprehensive Type System: Strongly-typed data structures for MCDP components
• Error Handling: Robust error handling with detailed context

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
mcdp-format2-rs = "2"

Usage

Library Usage

use mcdp_format2_rs::{read_mcdp_root, Root};
use std::path::Path;

// Load an MCDP file
let path = Path::new("example.mcdp2.json");
let root: Root = read_mcdp_root(path)?;

Command-line Usage

The package includes a CLI tool mcdp-format2-rs-load for parsing and validating MCDP files:

# Parse all MCDP files in a directory
mcdp-format2-rs-load /path/to/mcdp/files

# Use a custom pattern
mcdp-format2-rs-load -p "*.mcdp2.json" /path/to/files

# Verbose output
mcdp-format2-rs-load -v /path/to/files

Supported File Formats

The library automatically detects file format based on extension:

• .json - JSON format
• .yaml, .yml - YAML format
• .cbor - CBOR format
• .json.gz - Gzipped JSON
• .yaml.gz, .yml.gz - Gzipped YAML
• .cbor.gz - Gzipped CBOR
