## A Rusty child of the oead C++ library
**oead** is a C++ library for common file formats that are used in modern
first-party Nintendo EAD (now EPD) titles.

Currently, oead only handles very common formats that are extensively used
in recent games such as *Breath of the Wild* and *Super Mario Odyssey*.

* [AAMP](https://zeldamods.org/wiki/AAMP) (binary parameter archive): Only version 2 is supported.
* [BYML](https://zeldamods.org/wiki/BYML) (binary YAML): Versions 2, 3, and 4
  are supported (up to v7 in roead).
* [SARC](https://zeldamods.org/wiki/SARC) (archive)
* [Yaz0](https://zeldamods.org/wiki/Yaz0) (compression algorithm)

The roead project brings oead's core functionality, by directly porting or
(for the yaz0 module) providing safe and idiomatic bindings to oead's features.
(The Grezzo datasheets are not supported.) For more info on oead itself, visit
[its GitHub repo](https://github.com/zeldamods/oead/).

Each of roead's major modules is configurable as a feature. The default feature
set includes `byml`, `aamp`, `sarc,` and `yaz0`. For compatibility with many 
existing tools for these formats, there is also a `yaml` feature which enables
serializing/deserializing AAMP and BYML files as YAML documents. Finally, serde
support is available using the `with-serde` feature.

For API documentation, see the docs for each module.

## Building from Source

Most of roead is pure Rust and can compiled with any relatively recent release.
The stable MSRV is 1.69. However, the yaz0 module provides FFI bindings to oead
code, so to use it the following additional requirements are necessary:

- CMake 3.12+
- A compiler that supports C++17
- Everything necessary to build zlib

First, clone the repository, then enter the roead directory and run
`git submodule update --init --recursive`.
