Bin2XML

Bin2XML is a tool written in perl used to convert binary files of known formats to and from free format xml. The binary specification file, bfmt, allows for:

primative types
structs
struct pointers
translations
evaluated values
transient/hidden values/data on read
evaluated data on write

The goals of this project are to:

create an easy way to edit structured binary files
provide a syntax for describing a binary file in human and machine readable format.

( the code of tool itself is not exactly pretty, and is meant to serve as a prototype to develop the evolving bfmt file format )

The current file formats specified are

DVD IFO files (See ifo-spec.bfmt and ifo.html - created using bfmt2html. )
Macromedia SWF/Flash files
