go-avkit

Reading media in Go usually means linking libav or shelling out to ffmpeg. This does neither: it is an ordinary Go dependency that cross-compiles like the rest of your program.

Reference libraries, not re-implementations. Container parsing is delegated to the maintained libraries for each format; what this adds is the mapping of their box and element trees onto one small, format-neutral metadata model, so a caller does not learn a different vocabulary per container.

container demuxing over reference parsers

Reads time-based media and presents every container through one metadata model.

Container demuxing came first because it is what everything else needs; codecs follow. What is claimed here is what is measured to work, not the roadmap.
