hlsparserj is a Java library for parsing HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) playlist files. It is compliant with Version 12 of the Pantos spec:

package com.comcast.viper.hlsparserj;

- Extend the abstract Tag class and create a new class for your tag in com.comcast.viper.hlsparserj.tags.
- Add getter methods for the attributes of your tag. See the Media object for an example.
- Unnamed attributes (e.g. EXT-X-VERSION:4) are referred to as UNNAMEDATTR[num]. See the Version object for an example.
- Add a new name for your tag to com.viper.hlsparserj.tags.TagNames
- Also add the static block to register this new tag with the TagFactory
- Create a new playlist version in com.viper.hlsparserj.PlaylistVersion
- Numeric version identifiers should be reserved for Pantos spec-compliant implementation
- Create a new package, similar to the v12 package
- Extend either MasterPlaylist or MediaPlaylist, depending on where your tag lives
- Add a getter method to this extension. See the top level MasterPlaylist class for examples
