CWR-API 0.0.21

API library for the CWR standard format

This projects offers a domain model for the CISAC CWR standard v2.1 to be used on Python applications.

CWR stands for Common Works Registration, and it is a common or standard format for the registration and revision of musical works, used by publishers and performing rights societies as a way to exchange musical works data.

While the CWR standard has been created by CISAC this library has been developed by WESO independently, with help from BMAT.

The library includes a data model for representing the contents of a CWR file, and parsers to create that model from a file, and to decode and encode JSON messages with the data model.
