Open joshmoore opened 3 years ago

joshmoore commented 3 years ago

From the 2021-05-05 community meeting, there was a call for defining in this repository an official list (incl. machine parseable version) of all known codecs.

Third-parties can open PRs to register their own codec names to prevent collisions.

cc'ing known codec implementors: @cgohlke @jakirkham @d-v-b and known interested parties: @DennisHeimbigner @axtimwalde
