Summary

  • UUID & Extended Type Support: Introduces the uuid atom, adding the extended type structure for 16-byte user-type fields (ExtendedType) alongside standard trait implementations matching existing crate conventions.
  • Dynamic Routing: Implements a second-level router for uuid atoms, mirroring the pattern established in any.rs.
  • C2PA Metadata Integration: Implements the first specific box handler within uuid_boxes/c2pa.rs to parse and serialize C2PA stream provenance data, following c2pa 2.4 specifications.

Architecture & Design Decisions

  • Designed the UUID routing mechanism to follow with the crate's existing any pattern.
  • Kept the C2PA implementation modular inside uuid_boxes/ so future domain-specific UUID atoms can plug in seamlessly.

Testing

  • Verified round-trip encoding and decoding for C2PA atoms.
  • Added golden vector test case for C2PA in uuid.rs.

Future Work / Next Steps

  • Idiomatic Alignment with any.rs: While the current implementation explicitly matches the manual dispatch style found in any.rs for simplicity. A future macro abstraction could potentially automate specific UUID box registration without manually adding match arms in uuid.rs.

Walkthrough

Adds the public ExtendedType 16-byte value type with conversions, encoding, decoding, formatting, and byte access. Adds the Uuid atom with known C2pa and unknown payload variants, UUID dispatch, and round-trip tests. Adds C2PA payload encoding and decoding. Exposes the new types through crate re-exports and adds Uuid support to Any.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 272e2

Unsupported C2PA headers can be silently accepted and rewritten with different contents, while new UUID paths lack regression coverage; validate the header and add the focused tests before merging.

I'd like to see a reference added for the C2PA UUID and box structure, and an end-to-end test using a small external / reference file if possible.

There are quite a few TODO items. What is the plan?

The TODOs are just residual of me getting an understanding of the library, which i forgot to remove. I will apply your suggested changes, a C2PA reference, and a test with a mp4 file having a c2pa box.

box_purpose is encoded as a NUL-terminated string, but this encoder accepts embedded NULs. Decoding then terminates at the first one and reclassifies the rest of the purpose as payload, so C2pa values do not round-trip. Reject embedded NULs before encoding the purpose.

The C2PA extension decoder ignores the UUID version/flags header, so an unsupported nonzero header is accepted as valid C2PA data and later encoded as zero, changing the box on round-trip. Validate the decoded header and reject values other than version 0 with no flags before parsing the C2PA payload.

The new Uuid::Unknown path preserves forward-compatible UUID payloads, but no test exercises it. Add a round-trip test with a non-C2PA extended type and arbitrary payload so a regression that drops or alters unknown UUID data is detected.

The fixture test decodes the UUID box directly with Uuid::decode, so it does not exercise the new Any::Uuid registration and generic reader dispatch. Decode the same box through Any and assert the Any::Uuid variant to protect this public integration path.

That is a lot of test data....

While I like the source (and your validation) I'm concerned that its significant overhead.

Can you look for another option, even if it has to be self-generated and run through a separate tool to make the C2PA bits?

Yeah i can self-generate a smaller .mp4 file, and sign it with c2patool myself if that is better.
