## Installation

```sh
npm install --save mpd-parser
```

## Usage

```js
// get your manifest in whatever way works best
// for example, by reading the file from the filesystem in node
// or using fetch in a browser like so:

const manifestUri = 'https://example.com/dash.xml';
const res = await fetch(manifestUri);
const manifest = await res.text();

// A callback function to handle events like errors or warnings
const eventHandler = ({ type, message }) => console.log(`${type}: ${message}`);

var parsedManifest = mpdParser.parse(manifest, { manifestUri, eventHandler });
```

If dealing with a live stream, then on subsequent calls to parse, the previously parsed
manifest object should be provided as an option to `parse` using the `previousManifest`
option:

```js
const newParsedManifest = mpdParser.parse(
manifest,
// parsedManifest comes from the prior example
{ manifestUri, previousManifest: parsedManifest }
);
```

### Parsed Output

The parser ouputs a plain javascript object with the following structure:

```js
Manifest {
allowCache: boolean,
contentSteering: {
defaultServiceLocation: string,
proxyServerURL: string,
queryBeforeStart: boolean,
serverURL: string
},
endList: boolean,
mediaSequence: number,
discontinuitySequence: number,
playlistType: string,
playlists: [
{
attributes: {},
Manifest
}
],
mediaGroups: {
AUDIO: {
'GROUP-ID': {
default: boolean,
autoselect: boolean,
language: string,
uri: string,
instreamId: string,
characteristics: string,
forced: boolean
}
},
VIDEO: {},
'CLOSED-CAPTIONS': {},
SUBTITLES: {}
},
dateTimeString: string,
dateTimeObject: Date,
targetDuration: number,
totalDuration: number,
discontinuityStarts: [number],
segments: [
{
byterange: {
length: number,
offset: number
},
duration: number,
attributes: {},
discontinuity: number,
uri: string,
timeline: number,
key: {
method: string,
uri: string,
iv: string
},
map: {
uri: string,
byterange: {
length: number,
offset: number
}
},
'cue-out': string,
'cue-out-cont': string,
'cue-in': string
}
]
}
```

## Including the Parser

To include mpd-parser on your website or web application, use any of the following methods.

### `<script>` Tag

This is the simplest case. Get the script in whatever way you prefer and include it on your page.

```html
<script src="//path/to/mpd-parser.min.js">

var mpdParser = window['mpd-parser'];
var parsedManifest = mpdParser.parse(manifest, { manifestUri });

```

### Browserify

When using with Browserify, install mpd-parser via npm and `require` the parser as you would any other module.

```js
var mpdParser = require('mpd-parser');

var parsedManifest = mpdParser.parse(manifest, { manifestUri });
```

With ES6:
```js
import { parse } from 'mpd-parser';

const parsedManifest = parse(manifest, { manifestUri });
```

### RequireJS/AMD

When using with RequireJS (or another AMD library), get the script in whatever way you prefer and `require` the parser as you normally would:

```js
require(['mpd-parser'], function(mpdParser) {
var parsedManifest = mpdParser.parse(manifest, { manifestUri });
});
```
