Examples

Access basic info

use mobi::Mobi;
fn main() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> {
    let book = vec![0, 0, 0];
    // You can either create a Mobi struct from a slice
    let m = Mobi::new(&book)?;
    // Or from an instance of io::Read
    let stdin = std::io::stdin();
    let mut handle = stdin.lock();
    let m = Mobi::from_read(&mut handle)?;
    // Or from filesystem
    let m = Mobi::from_path("/some/path/to/book.mobi")?;

    let empty = "".to_string();
    // Access metadata
    let title = m.title().unwrap_or(&empty);
    let author = m.author().unwrap_or(&empty);
    let publisher = m.publisher().unwrap_or(&empty);
    let desc = m.description().unwrap_or(&empty);
    let isbn = m.isbn().unwrap_or(&empty);
    let pub_date = m.publish_date().unwrap_or(&empty);
    let contributor = m.contributor().unwrap_or(&empty);

    // Access Headers
    let header = &m.header; // Normal Header
    let pdheader = &m.palmdoc; // PalmDOC Header
    let mheader = &m.mobi; // MOBI Header
    let exth = &m.exth; // Extra Header

    // Access content
    let content = m.content_as_string();

    Ok(())
}
