A fast and well tested GDTF-parser

🚧️ gdtf-parser is in pre-release state. Any breaking changes may be implemented without further notice! 🚧️

⚠️ Implementation of Matrix and Rotation may be wrong ⚠️

Description

GDTF stands for General Device Type Format and describes the hierarchical and logical structure and controls of any type of controllable device (e.g. luminaires, fog machines, etc.) in the lighting and entertainment industry.

With gdtf-parser you can simply parse a .gdtf file in an struct that is similarly organized like the GDTF description.xml but with lighter hierarchy.

gdtf-parser supports GDTF 1.0 and 1.1 accorting to DIN SPEC 15800:2020-07

Usage

The main struct GDTF implements the trait TryFrom<&Path> so usage is straight forward:

Example try from

use std::convert::TryFrom;
use std::path::Path;
use gdtf_parser::GDTF;
use gdtf_parser::utils::errors::GdtfError;
use gdtf_parser::utils::units::data_version::DataVersion;
use gdtf_parser::utils::units::name::Name;
use gdtf_parser::utils::units::attribute_name::AttributeName;
use gdtf_parser::utils::units::physical_unit::PhysicalUnit;

fn main() -> Result<(),GdtfError>{
    let path: &Path = Path::new("test/ACME@ACME_AE-610_BEAM@ACME_AE-610_BEAM.gdtf");
    let gdtf: GDTF = GDTF::try_from(path)?;
    assert_eq!(gdtf.data_version, DataVersion::Version1_0);
    assert_eq!(gdtf.fixture_type.name, Name::new("ACME AE-610 BEAM")?);
    assert_eq!(gdtf.fixture_type.attribute_definitions.attributes.get(&AttributeName::Gobo_n_WheelSpin(1)).unwrap().physical_unit, PhysicalUnit::AngularSpeed);
    Ok(())
}

Example try into

use std::convert::TryInto;
use std::path::Path;
use gdtf_parser::GDTF;
use gdtf_parser::utils::errors::GdtfError;
use gdtf_parser::utils::units::data_version::DataVersion;
use gdtf_parser::utils::units::name::Name;
use gdtf_parser::utils::units::attribute_name::AttributeName;
use gdtf_parser::utils::units::physical_unit::PhysicalUnit;

fn main() -> Result<(),GdtfError> {
    let path: &Path = Path::new("test/ACME@ACME_AE-610_BEAM@ACME_AE-610_BEAM.gdtf");
    let gdtf: GDTF = path.try_into()?;
    assert_eq!(gdtf.data_version, DataVersion::Version1_0);
    assert_eq!(gdtf.fixture_type.name, Name::new("ACME AE-610 BEAM")?);
    assert_eq!(gdtf.fixture_type.attribute_definitions.attributes.get(&AttributeName::Gobo_n_WheelSpin(1)).unwrap().physical_unit, PhysicalUnit::AngularSpeed);
    Ok(())
}
