+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
