About:
Libxspf is a C++ library designed for parsing and writing XSPF (XML Shareable Playlist Format) files. It provides a robust API for developers to integrate playlist functionality into their multimedia applications. The library handles the complexities of the XML format, allowing for easy manipulation of playlist data.
Key Features:
  • C++ implementation for performance
  • Supports both reading and writing XSPF playlists
  • Compliant with the XSPF specification
  • Provides a clean API for integration
Use Cases:
  • Building custom media players with playlist support
  • Converting between different playlist formats
  • Server-side processing of user-uploaded playlists
Alternatives:
  • libplist – Focuses on Apple's Plist format, not XSPF
  • GStreamer – A full multimedia framework that includes playlist parsing, but is much heavier than Libxspf
