Srt Subtitles Parser

Brief Description

SrtSubtitleParser is a Rust-based parser that processes .srt (SubRip Subtitle) files. The parser reads .srt files with entries consisting of an index number, a start timestamp, an end timestamp, and one or more lines of subtitle text. The parser converts the file into a structured data format, which can be used for:

• Converting subtitles to other formats such as .vtt or JSON
• Performing time-based analysis, such as calculating total subtitle duration or average line length
• Validating subtitle file consistency, including sequential numbering and non-overlapping timestamps
• Filtering, searching, or manipulating subtitle text programmatically

Parsing Process

The parsing process includes:

1. Reading .srt text input
2. Extracting subtitle blocks (index, time range, and text)
3. Validating timestamps and block order
4. Transforming parsed data into a structured format (Subtitle structs)
