+libhivex is a self-contained library for
+reading and writing Windows Registry "hive" binary files.
+
+Unlike many other tools in this area,
+it doesn't use the textual .REG format for output, because parsing
+that is as much trouble as parsing the original binary format. Instead
+it makes the file available through a C API, or there is a
+separate program to export the hive as XML.
