This repository constitutes a library of ready-made binary file format
descriptions using Kaitai Struct language (.ksy).
These formats can be useful for:
-
exploring a certain file format internals: one can load .ksy
format + target binary in a Web IDE or
visualizer
and learn what's inside;
-
as a production-ready binary file parsing library: they can be
compiled with a
Kaitai Struct compiler
into source code in any supported target programming language;
-
as a starting point for learning applications of Kaitai Struct in
real world;
