rs-bag

Description

A library to read, write and modify ROS 2 rosbag2 storage files (sqlite3 .db3), implemented in pure Rust on top of the turso SQLite engine — no ROS installation required.

Features

• Open an existing rosbag directory or create a new one (optionally split into multiple .db3 files)
• Read messages as raw CDR bytes (RawReadIterator) or deserialize them directly into any serde type (TypedReadIterator<T>)
• Filter reads by topic names and/or a timestamp interval
• Insert new messages serialized via serde + CDR
• Access the bag's topics and metadata

Message deletion, modification and full metadata support are not implemented yet — see the TODOs below.

Current state

This crate is in an early stage (pre-1.0). The read path works for single-file and split bags, but some APIs are still unimplemented stubs (that will panic) and split-bag opening assumes a single .db3 per bag.
