MCAP is a modular container format and logging library for pub/sub messages with arbitrary message serialization. It is primarily intended for use in robotics applications, and works well under various workloads, resource constraints, and durability requirements.
The @mcap/browser package provides utilities for working with MCAP files in browsers.

* For drag & drop, listen for "drop" events. (Note that you must also listen for "dragover" events
* and call event.preventDefault(), to enable listening for drop events.)
