iTunesLibraryParser
===================
[](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/asciamanna/ituneslibraryparser)

The iTunes Library Parser is implemented in C# utilizing LINQ-To-XML. Given the location of a iTunes Music Library XML file it parses the PropertyList format, which is defined by the Document Type Declaration (DTD) defined here [http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd](http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd). It supports parsing tracks, albums, and playlists. More features will be added periodically.
## Nuget
The nuget package is [available here](https://www.nuget.org/packages/iTunesLibraryParser/)
## Usage
```csharp
var library = new ITunesLibrary("iTunesLibrary.xml");
var tracks = library.Tracks
// returns all tracks in the iTunes Library
var albums = library.Albums
// returns all albums in the iTunes Library
var playlists = library.Playlists
// returns all playlists in the iTunes Library
```
## Versioning
iTunesLibaryParser will be maintained under the [Semantic Versioning guidelines](http://semver.org). Releases will follow this format:
```
..
```
* If a release breaks backward compatibility the major version will be bumped (resetting minor and build back to zero).
* New features and updates without breaking backward compatibility will bump the minor version (resetting the build to zero)
* Bug fixes and small miscellaneous changes increase the build number
## Performance Testing
14,500 tracks -> 800ms
2400 albums -> 1.4s
100 playlists -> 2.2s
## Coming Soon
Additional features will be coming soon like filtering tracks by track criteria.
