Byte Buddy
A programmer's tool for analysing byte arrays | |
This GUI tool allows the developer to paste or load an
array of bytes for interpretation. As bytes are selected
with the pointing device, a tooltip reveals possible ways of
interpreting binary data based on which primitive types are
relevant for the number of selected bytes. The developer
may
add separators between "fields" in the array and
choose the data type for recognized fields.
Templates may be saved for interpreting similar arrays of
bytes. Helper facilities would be provided for guessing
field boundaries using string detection. A knob would
allow byte order interpretation as big or little endian.
Long arrays of bytes would be intelligently wrapped into
multiple lines on the display, and printable renderings of
the array would be offered.
Far better than a hex editor, this tool would be
indispensable for binary message parsing or file analysis.

The depth of understanding that is evident in your
description of the concept leads me to believe you are
capable of creating this tool. If so, do, and forge onward,
friend. |

So, an editor for text, hex, and arbitrary / mixed data types? I can think of a few times when this would have made my life easier, so (+). You could probably write this for Emacs. |

Not massively keen on the tooltip part, and implied mouse-centricity, but that's a minor grumble. |

Your code will have to be 8-bit clean (a term I learned 20 seconds ago), but some platforms (e.g. zile) already are. |

Stay away from me this is Scary Byte - Maybe Intimidate a Byte - Loco Mosquito Byte (Iggy Pop) |

Doesn't VS have such a thing? Not for mixed datatypes
though. |
