I want to parse Media Presentation Description (MPD) file with a library using the Javascript language. Are there libraries or a library that permit me to parse simply MPD file ? I saw dashif library, but this is hard to use. I don't want player ! I want only parse the informations in MPD file and use these to make my script for display them.

  • The **MPD** file is an XML so any available XML parser will do. Or are you trying to do something else? – aergistal Apr 17 '15 at 10:00
  • @aergistal I tried to make a MPD parser with JS, but this is expensive in terms of time. I believe that if I can use a mpd parser already done from another source(for example dashif), and use that to parse mpd file, i'll spend less work instead of to make it from zero. – Ellipticat Apr 17 '15 at 10:45
  • You need an XML parser. See [Parse XML using JavaScript](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17604071/parse-xml-using-javascript). If you're using node.js then there are XML parser modules available such as `xml2js`, `xml-parser` etc. – aergistal Apr 17 '15 at 11:20

Unsure about a JavaScript tool that it's only focus is to parse the file, however Google has a HTML 5 dash player that is more focused than Dash if, which might make it simpler to make use of just their manifest parsing.
