Library to read/write EEG data file formats

xdffileio is a library that provides a unified interface for writing and reading various biosignal file formats in realtime (i.e. streaming). It has been designed to provide a flexible, consistent and generic interface to all supported file formats while minimizing the overhead of the function calls: the heaviest operations (type casting, scaling and formatting) are offloaded into a separated thread. This design makes its particularly suitable to be directly used in a data acquisition loop (like in electrophysiology recording or in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI)).

The genericity of the interface makes trivial various operations like transformation of a recorded file or its conversion to another file format. xdffileio currently supports EDF, BDF, GDF1 and GDF2 file formats and more will be added in future.
