Lacing — Adapter Authoring

Format support in lacing is plugin-only. The core never imports a format module. Each adapter is a small, independent file in lacing/adapters/ that registers itself.

The plugin contract

Every adapter exposes two functions and one registration call. The exact signature is fixed by lacing/adapters/init.py:

# lacing/adapters/<format>.py
import os
from lacing.adapters import register_adapter
from lacing.store import IntervalAnnotationStore, MemoryStore

ADAPTER_NAME = "textgrid"
BODY_SCHEMA_URI = "annot://schema/textgrid-label/v1"
