Construct (python library)
|
|
|
|
Construct is a powerful declarative parser (and builder) for binary data.
|
|
|
|
The library provides both simple, atomic constructs (such as integers of
|
|
various sizes), as well as composite ones which allow you form hierarchical
|
|
structures of increasing complexity. Construct features bit and byte
|
|
granularity, easy debugging and testing, an easy-to-extend subclass system,
|
|
and lots of primitive constructs to make your work easier:
|
|
|
|
-Fields: raw bytes or numerical types
|
|
-Structs and Sequences: combine simpler constructs into more complex ones
|
|
-Adapters: change how data is represented
|
|
-Arrays/Ranges: duplicate constructs
|
|
-Meta-constructs: use the context (history) to compute the size of data
|
|
-If/Switch: branch the computational path based on the context
|
|
-On-demand (lazy) parsing: read only what you require
|
|
-Pointers: jump from here to there in the data stream
