<a name="gstreamer-libs-gstdataprotocol.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
This helper library provides serialization of GstBuffer, GstCaps and
GstEvent structures.
</p>
<p>
This serialization is useful when GStreamer needs to interface with
the outside world to transport data between distinct GStreamer pipelines.
The connections with the outside world generally don't have mechanisms
to transport properties of these structures.
</p>
<p>
For example, transporting buffers across named pipes or network connections
doesn't maintain the buffer size and separation.
</p>
<p>
This data protocol assumes a reliable connection-oriented transport, such as
TCP, a pipe, or a file. The protocol does not serialize the caps for
each buffer; instead, it transport the caps only when they change in the
stream. This implies that there will always be a caps packet before any
buffer packets.
</p>
<p>
The versioning of the protocol is independent of GStreamer's version.
The major number gets incremented, and the minor reset, for incompatible
changes. The minor number gets incremented for compatible changes that
allow clients who do not completely understand the newer protocol version
to still decode what they do understand.
</p>
<p>
Version 0.2 serializes only a small subset of all events, with a custom
payload for each type. Also, all GDP streams start with the initial caps
packet.
</p>
<p>
Version 1.0 serializes all events by taking the string representation of
the event as the payload. In addition, GDP streams can now start with
events as well, as required by the new data stream model in GStreamer 0.10.
</p>
<p>
Converting buffers, caps and events to GDP buffers is done using a
<a class="link" href="gstreamer-libs-gstdataprotocol.html#GstDPPacketizer" title="GstDPPacketizer"><span class="type">GstDPPacketizer</span></a> object and invoking its packetizer functions.
For backwards-compatibility reasons, the old 0.2 methods are still
available but deprecated.
</p>
<p>
For reference, this image shows the byte layout of the GDP header:
