  • (X)Flavor
    The Formal Language for Audio-Visual Object Representation, extended with XML features (XFlavor) is a declarative C++-like language to describe the syntax of a bitstream on a bit-per-bit basis. XFlavor was initially designed to simplify and speed up the development of software that processes audio-visual bitstreams by automatically generating a parser for these bitstreams. By extending this automatically generated parser with XML features, it was possible to translate the syntax of a bitstream in XML format.
