mame-parser is a Rust library that simplifies the management and processing of files containing MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) information. The library provides a suite of tools to automate the download, decompression, parsing, and exporting of MAME data, making it easier to handle and manipulate this data in various formats.

Features

• File Downloading: Download the latest MAME-related files and store them in a specified location.
• File Decompression: Decompress downloaded files, supporting multiple archive formats like ZIP and 7z.
• Data Parsing and Management: Parse MAME data files with utilities for reading and handling the information in-memory.
• Multi-format Exporting: Export parsed data to multiple formats, such as JSON, CSV, or SQLite.
• Progress Tracking: Monitor the progress of operations.
