Kaitai Struct: a tool for dealing with binary formats
Kaitai Struct is a tool for dealing with binary formats. Binary formats are everywhere: archive files, executables, filesystems, multimedia files, network protocols, etc. If your application needs to read data in a specific binary format, you need a parser that unpacks the bytes into meaningful data structures that you can work with. There are libraries doing that for popular formats, but what if there is no suitable library in your programming language for the format you need?
