§Aligned media and text format for language-learning software

This is a Rust implementation of the aligned media specification for language-learning software.

iso_short_code_serialization: Routines for serialzing and deserialzing optional ISO 639-1 and 639-3 codes, represented as isolang::Language. These are intended for use with serde_derive’s with = argument.

Alignment: The smallest unit of alignment or synchronization. This might be a subtitle, a sentence, or perhaps multiple sentences if that’s the best the aligning application can do.
FilePath: A portable, relative path in Unix notation. These are highly restricted to help prevent directory traversal attacks. Specifically, they:
Metadata: A single media file, typically an episode of a TV series, a film, an chapter of an audiobook. It might also be something more exotic, like a PDF of a graphic novel.
TimeSpan: A span of time, measured in floating-point seconds.
Track: An individual “track” of context. This might be a single subtitle in a single language, or a still image taken from a video

ExtensionData: Custom extension data which hasn’t been standardized. All custom fields must go in a block of this type, and should generally have names like myapp-attrname, where myapp is the application that uses them. This is a map with string keys and arbitrary JSON values.
Result: Type alias for results returned by our crate.
