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 + -Tunneling: prefix data with a byte count or compress it + +This is the Python 3 build of Construct. |
