The first public release of libgsf has been made so that I can
release Gnumeric. It is currently in 'pre-gnome2' along with
gnumeric but will move to unstable.
What is libgsf :
- The GNOME Structured File library.
- A replacement for libole2
- A very simple i/o abstraction intended for use importing and
exporting files. No monitoring, no inline modification.
The goal is to support various structured file formats coming
from arbitrary sources to let us concentrate on parsing the
content not the package.
An example usage
Read a the vba source out of a substream in an ole file that is
gzipped in a buffer we recieved from bonobo.
What is complete
- OLE2 input and output (incl files > 6.8 Meg)
- Gzip input
- Text line input wrapper
- Stdio input wrapper
- mmap and buffer input wrappers
- convenience routines for libxml2 for dom and sax parsers
- optional bonobo stream wrappers
What is under development
- Zipfile input and output
- VBA source decompression
- MS OLE2 Property sets
What we plan to add
- File type sniffing that concentrates on accuracy at the
expense of speed. So that we can identify what type of
gzipped xml this is.
- Abstract interface to document meta data
