h264-nalu-parser/README.md

A parser for H264 NAL unit streams.

H.264 NAL Unit Parser
=====

This module exports a single generator function producing `Uint8Array`s containing single Network Abstraction Layer units. Basic usage is as follows:

```ts
import parseNALUStream from 'h264-nalu-parser';

for (const nalu of parseNALUStream(data)) {
  /* Do stuff with an individual NAL unit. */
}
```

The `data` should also be provided as a `Uint8Array`, aligned on NALU boundaries.

Note that this will not work with H.264 data extracted from an MP4 file; the MP4 container format separates individual NALUs with 4-byte length headers, which this parser does not expect.
