file-format

Build Crates.io Docs Rust License

Crate for determining the file format of a given file or stream.

It provides a variety of functions for identifying a wide range of file formats, including ZIP, Compound File Binary (CFB), Extensible Markup Language (XML) and more.

It checks the signature of the file to determine its format and intelligently employs specific readers when available for accurate identification. If the signature is not recognized, the crate falls back to the default file format, which is Arbitrary Binary Data (BIN).

Examples

Determines from a file:

use file_format::{FileFormat, Kind};

let fmt = FileFormat::from_file("fixtures/document/sample.pdf")?;
assert_eq!(fmt, FileFormat::PortableDocumentFormat);
assert_eq!(fmt.name(), "Portable Document Format");
assert_eq!(fmt.short_name(), Some("PDF"));
assert_eq!(fmt.media_type(), "application/pdf");
assert_eq!(fmt.extension(), "pdf");
assert_eq!(fmt.kind(), Kind::Document);

Determines from bytes:

use file_format::{FileFormat, Kind};

let fmt = FileFormat::from_bytes(&[0xFF, 0xD8, 0xFF]);
assert_eq!(fmt, FileFormat::JointPhotographicExpertsGroup);
assert_eq!(fmt.name(), "Joint Photographic Experts Group");
assert_eq!(fmt.short_name(), Some("JPEG"));
assert_eq!(fmt.media_type(), "image/jpeg");
assert_eq!(fmt.extension(), "jpg");
assert_eq!(fmt.kind(), Kind::Image);

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
file-format = "0.24"
