BFlavor
BFlavor (BSDL + XFlavor) is a tool to assist in describing the high-level structure of (scalable) bitstreams. It is built on top of the Formal Language for Audio-Visual Object Representation, extended with XML features (XFlavor). BFlavor enables the creation of a high-level syntax description for a particular media format in a object-oriented manner. This language is a C++-like language and is developed to speed up the generation of XML descriptions of (scalable) bitstreams. -
