FormatParser can be used to figure out the file type and format of a file as well as extracting some extra information about the file.

Documentation can be found [here](https://hexdocs.pm/format_parser).

Inspired heavily by [format_parser](https://github.com/WeTransfer/format_parser/).

## Basic usage

```elixir
# Image
{:ok, file} = File.read("myimage.gif")
match = FormatParser.parse(file)
match.nature              #=> :image
match.format              #=> :gif
match.width_px            #=> 256
match.height_px           #=> 256

# Video
{:ok, file} = File.read("myvideo.flv")
match = FormatParser.parse(file)
match.nature              #=> :video
match.format              #=> :flv

# Document
{:ok, file} = File.read("mydocument.rtf")
match = FormatParser.parse(file)
match.nature              #=> :document
match.format              #=> :rtf

# Audio
{:ok, file} = File.read("myaudio.wav")
match = FormatParser.parse(file)
match.nature              #=> :audio
match.format              #=> :wav
match.sample_rate_hz      #=> 44100
match.num_audio_channels  #=> 2

# Font
{:ok, file} = File.read("myfont.ttf")
match = FormatParser.parse(file)
match.nature              #=> :font
match.format              #=> :ttf

```

## Installation

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:format_parser, "~> 0.10.0"}
  ]
end
```

## Roadmap

- [ ] Parse width/height from `jpeg`, `exr`, `xcf` & `jb2`
- [ ] Implement intrinsics for all
- [ ] Split up Image, Audio, Video, Font & Document parsers to their own module
- [ ] Get Sample Rate and # Of Channels from `aiff`, `ogg` & `flac`
- [ ] Add support for big-endian tiff
