kaitai_struct - Kaitai Struct: declarative language to generate binary data parsers in C++ / C# / Go / Java / JavaScript / Lua / Perl / PHP / Python / Ruby

•    Shell

---

Kaitai Struct is a declarative language used for describing various binary data structures laid out in files or in memory: i.e. binary file formats, network stream packet formats, etc. The main idea is that a particular format is described in Kaitai Struct language only once and then can be compiled with a ksc into source files in one of the supported programming languages. These modules will include a generated code for a parser that can read described data structure from a file / stream and give access to it in a nice, easy-to-comprehend API.

bincode - A binary encoder / decoder implementation in Rust.

•    Rust

---

A compact encoder / decoder pair that uses a binary zero-fluff encoding scheme. The size of the encoded object will be the same or smaller than the size that the object takes up in memory in a running Rust program. In addition to exposing two simple functions (one that encodes to Vec<u8>, and one that decodes from &[u8]), binary-encode exposes a Reader/Writer API that makes it work perfectly with other stream-based apis such as rust files, network streams, and the flate2-rs compression library.

struct - Xcode projects on steroids

•    Ruby

---

struct is a tool for iOS and Mac developers to automate the creation and management of Xcode projects. Ever lamented over your unorganised project files? struct solves that by making your filesystem be your project structure. How it is on disk is how it is in your project. Simple.

Simple Binary Encoding - Simple Binary Encoding (SBE) - High Performance Message Codec

•    Java

---

SBE is an OSI layer 6 presentation for encoding and decoding binary application messages for low-latency financial applications. This repository contains the reference implementations in Java, C++, Golang, and C#. The Java and C++ SBE implementations are designed with work very efficiently with the Aeron messaging system for low-latency and high-throughput communications. The Java SBE implementation has a dependency on Agrona for its buffer implementations.

kenlm - KenLM: Faster and Smaller Language Model Queries

•    C++

---

I do development in master on https://github.com/kpu/kenlm/. Normally, it works, but I do not guarantee it will compile, give correct answers, or generate non-broken binary files. For a more stable release, get http://kheafield.com/code/kenlm.tar.gz . The website http://kheafield.com/code/kenlm/ has more documentation. If you're a decoder developer, please download the latest version from there instead of copying from another decoder.

binarytree - Python Library for Studying Binary Trees

•    Python

---

Binarytree is a Python library which provides a simple API to generate, visualize, inspect and manipulate binary trees. It allows you to skip the tedious work of setting up test data, and dive straight into practising your algorithms. Heaps and BSTs (binary search trees) are also supported. You may need to use sudo depending on your environment.

csvutil - csvutil provides fast and idiomatic mapping between CSV and Go (golang) values.

•    Go

---

Package csvutil provides fast and idiomatic mapping between CSV and Go values. This package does not provide a CSV parser itself, it is based on the Reader and Writer interfaces which are implemented by eg. std csv package. This gives a possibility of choosing any other CSV writer or reader which may be more performant.

---

Tool written in perl to convert binary files of known formats to/from free format xml. The binary specification file allows for: primative types, structs, struct pointers and translations. The first application of the tool is for DVD IFO files.

Marshal - Marshaling the typeless wild west of [String: Any]

•    Swift

---

In Swift, we all deal with JSON, plists, and various forms of [String: Any]. Marshal believes you don't need a Ph.D. in monads or magic mirrors to deal with these in an expressive and type safe way. Marshal will help you write declarative, performant, error handled code using the power of Protocol Oriented Programming™. Unmarshaling is the process of taking an intermediary data format (the marshaled object) and tranforming it into a local representation. Think of marshaling as serialization and unmarshaling as deserialization, or coding and decoding, respectively.

bolthold - BoltHold is an embeddable NoSQL store for Go types built on BoltDB

•    Go

---

BoltHold is a simple querying and indexing layer on top of a Bolt DB instance. For a similar library built on Badger see BadgerHold. The goal is to create a simple, higher level interface on top of Bolt DB that simplifies dealing with Go Types and finding data, but exposes the underlying Bolt DB for customizing as you wish. By default the encoding used is Gob, so feel free to use the GobEncoder/Decoder interface for faster serialization. Or, alternately, you can use any serialization you want by supplying encode / decode funcs to the Options struct on Open.

pbf - A low-level, lightweight protocol buffers implementation in JavaScript.

•    Javascript

---

A low-level, fast, ultra-lightweight (3KB gzipped) JavaScript library for decoding and encoding protocol buffers, a compact binary format for structured data serialization. Works both in Node and the browser. Supports lazy decoding and detailed customization of the reading/writing code.If you use webpack as your module bundler, you can use pbf-loader to load .proto files directly. It returns a compiled module ready to be used.

GoLLRB - A Left-Leaning Red-Black (LLRB) implementation of balanced binary search trees for Google Go

•    Go

---

GoLLRB is a Left-Leaning Red-Black (LLRB) implementation of 2-3 balanced binary search trees in Go Language. As of this writing and to the best of the author's knowledge, Go still does not have a balanced binary search tree (BBST) data structure. These data structures are quite useful in a variety of cases. A BBST maintains elements in sorted order under dynamic updates (inserts and deletes) and can support various order-specific queries. Furthermore, in practice one often implements other common data structures like Priority Queues, using BBST's.
