Matroska
A Matroska parser written in Go.
Introduction
The Matroska Multimedia Container is a free and open container format, a file format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file.
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroska
This library is based on the 14th iteration of draft-ietf-cellar-matroska and the 10th iteration of draft-ietf-cellar-codec. None of these documents reached "Internet Standard" status yet.
- draft-ietf-cellar-matroska is still an Internet-Draft.
- draft-ietf-cellar-codec is still an Internet-Draft.
The goal of this project is to create an implementation based on these documents and during the implementation provide feedback.
Production readiness
This project is still in alpha phase. In this stage the public API can change between days.
Beta version will be considered when the feature set covers most of the documents the implementation is based on, and the public API is reached a mature state.
Stable version will be considered only if enough positive feedback is gathered to lock the public API and all document the implementation is based on became "Internet Standard".

Huge thanks to the Matroska.org for their work.
