The document discusses MPEG Extensible Middleware (MXM), which provides a set of APIs to access various MPEG technologies through "MXM engines". MXM aims to simplify application development by handling complexity within the engines and allowing replacement of engines without cost. It also seeks to create a market for MXM engines, applications, and devices. The document outlines the MXM approach of wrapping standards in libraries accessible via standardized MXM APIs, and lists some current MXM engine examples.
