README

        
A tool for generating binary data parsers, based on

a spec file that tells us what the data layout is.

Because "why on earth do I have to write a parser

from scratch when the spec is right there?"

A demonstrator is currently up on:

http://pomax.nihongoresources.com/pages/ABinaryParserGenerator/

You can also run the index.html file from the test

dir, however, you will have to get some of your own

fonts to test with, and update the test.js file so

that the ttf and cff font refernces have the right

names.

(NOTE: This project depends on jDataView, which
