nanim project goals are to specify and promote free and opensource tools for a modern 2d animation file format:
- nanim.proto, the format specification using protobuf : with protoc or other protobuf compiler, you can generate parser for about every popular programming language.
- Nanimstudio, the visual animation editor.
- Nanim SDK, command line tools.
- nanimjs, an html5 example player.
- Other softwares that support the nanim file format (like the drawing program pixeditor).
