The libadm library is a modern C++11 library to parse, modify, create and
write ITU-R BS.2076-1 conform XML document. It works well with the header-only
library libbw64 to write ADM
related applications with minimal dependencies.
Read the documentation to get started.
- minimal dependencies
- expressive syntax
- easy access to referenced ADM elements
- common definitions support
- compiler with C++11 support
- Boost header libraries (version 1.57 or later)
- Boost.Optional
- Boost.Variant
- Boost.Range
- Boost.Iterator
- Boost.Functional
- Boost.Format
- CMake build system (version 3.5 or later)
On macOS you can use homebrew to install the library. You just have to add the IRT’s NGA homebrew tap and can then use the usual install command.
brew tap irt-open-source/homebrew-nga
brew install libadm
To manually install the library you have to clone the git repository and then use the CMake build system to build and install it.
git clone [email protected]:irt-open-source/libadm.git
cd libadm
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
make install
As the library uses CMake as a build system it is really easy to set up and use if your project does too. Assuming you have installed the library, the following code shows a complete CMake example to compile a program which uses the libadm.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
project(libadm_example VERSION 1.0.0 LANGUAGES CXX)
find_package(adm REQUIRED)
add_executable(examples example.cpp)
target_link_libraries(example PRIVATE adm)
If you prefer not to install the library on your system you can also use the library as a subproject. You can just add the library as a CMake subproject. Just add the folder containing the repository to your project and you can use the adm target.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
project(libadm_example VERSION 1.0.0 LANGUAGES CXX)
add_subdirectory(submodules/libadm)
add_executable(example example.cpp)
target_link_libraries(example PRIVATE adm)
If libadm is used as a CMake subproject the default values of the options
ADM_UNIT_TESTSADM_EXAMPLESADM_PACKAGE_AND_INSTALL
are automatically set to FALSE.
The following minimal example shows how easy a valid ADM file can be created
from scratch using the libadm library. For more examples have a look at the
examples folder in the repository.
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <adm/adm.hpp>
#include <adm/utilities/object_creation.hpp>
#include <adm/write.hpp>
int main() {
using namespace adm;
// create ADM elements
auto admProgramme = AudioProgramme::create(AudioProgrammeName("Alice and Bob talking"));
auto speechContent = AudioContent::create(AudioContentName("Speech"));
auto aliceHolder = createSimpleObject("Alice");
auto bobHolder = createSimpleObject("Bob");
// add references
admProgramme->addReference(speechContent);
speechContent->addReference(aliceHolder.audioObject);
speechContent->addReference(bobHolder.audioObject);
auto admDocument = Document::create();
admDocument->add(admProgramme);
// write XML data to stdout
writeXml(std::cout, admDocument);
return 0;
}- some ADM sub-elements are missing
- no SADM support (ITU-R BS.[SERIAL])
libadm is originally a development of the IRT.
