Yeah I was surprised this was left out, it's my goto when I need to mess around with binary formats because it's data specification mini-language is so terse but covers so much ground. It's also just really nice to be able to interactively get all kinds of different sorts of printouts. I kinda wish there was something like this "Katai Struct" program that used that instead of yaml, katai's yaml is so very verbose I almost feel like I'm not saving much time.

Actually, I think ASN.1 is basically the ultimate language for binary format description, but it's really the kitchen sink and I don't know of any parser generator implementation that can really deal with the whole specification.
