This is a parser for the ICE Candidate SDP, which is used for connectivity establishment and NAT traversal in communication systems like WebRTC. Bindings for C and Android (through JNI) are provided. Building a universal library for iOS is also possible.

Example candidate SDP:

candidate:842163049 1 udp 1686052607 1.2.3.4 46154 typ srflx raddr 10.0.0.17 rport 46154 generation 0 ufrag EEtu network-id 3 network-cost 10

It will parse the data into a struct with all components. The example above will result in the following object:

IceCandidate {
    foundation: "842163049",
    component_id: 1,
    transport: Udp,
    priority: 1686052607,
    connection_address: V4(1.2.3.4),
    port: 46154,
    candidate_type: Srflx,
    rel_addr: Some(V4(10.0.0.17)),
    rel_port: Some(46154),
    extensions: Some({
        [110, 101, 116, 119, 111, 114, 107, 45, 99, 111, 115, 116]: [49, 48],
        [103, 101, 110, 101, 114, 97, 116, 105, 111, 110]: [48],
        [117, 102, 114, 97, 103]: [69, 69, 116, 117],
        [110, 101, 116, 119, 111, 114, 107, 45, 105, 100]: [51]
    })
}

For more information, see RFC5245 (Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE)).

Crate docs: https://docs.rs/candidateparser/

Note: Due to build system issues, Rust 1.21+ is required.

FFI (C/C++17)

This library includes C and C++17 bindings, so you can use it from any language that supports the C calling convention. Example programs in C and C++17 can be found in the candidateparser-ffi/examples/ directory.

JNI bindings (Java / Android)

This library also contains JNI bindings, written with jni-rs. An Android library with a simple test is provided in the candidateparser-android directory.

Make sure to build the candidateparser-jni crate before building the Android library.

Building candidateparser-jni for Android

Requirements:

  • Android NDK
  • Rustup
  • Make

Add rustup targets:

$ rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi i686-linux-android

Build standalone toolchains:

$ ./create-ndk-standalone.sh

Add toolchain config to your ~/.cargo/config:

$ cat cargo-config.toml >> ~/.cargo/config

Build Android libraries:

$ make android

Building the candidateparser-android library for Android

Build the library using gradle:

$ ./gradlew build

You will find the AAR file in the app/build/outputs/aar/ directory.

Linting

To run clippy lints, compile the library with --features clippy on a nightly compiler:

$ cargo build --features clippy

Note: Running this command from the workspace root won't work, you have to cd into the sub-crates!

Universal iOS library

If you want to build a universal iOS library, install cargo-lipo. Then, delete the Cargo.toml file in the root (cargo-lipo cannot deal with workspaces currently).

$ rm Cargo.toml

Finally, build the library:

$ make ios

Note that this only works on macOS at the moment.
