Abstract

Flavor is a formal language developed for describing compressed bitstream syntax, especially the bitstreams representing multimedia objects. A translator is also available for translating a Flavor description into C++ or Java code. The code includes bitstream parsing and generating operations that can readily be used by software developers with essentially zero additional programming. After briefly describing the latest version of Flavor, we propose an extension - XFlavor - that provides XML features by transforming the traditional bitstream representation of multimedia data into a corresponding XML representation.
