• FragmentMetadataVisitor: This class retrieves metadata for fragments (media elements) and tracks (individual data streams containing media information, such as audio or subtitles).

• OutputSegmentMerger: This class merges consecutive fragments or chunks in a video stream.

• KinesisVideoExample: This is a sample application that shows how to use the Kinesis video stream Parser Library.

The library also includes tests that show how the tools are used.
