# Kaitai Struct: runtime library for Python

[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/kaitaistruct)](https://pypi.org/project/kaitaistruct/)

[![PyPI - Python Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/kaitaistruct)](https://pypi.org/project/kaitaistruct/#:~:text=Programming%20Language)

This library implements Kaitai Struct API for Python.

[Kaitai Struct](https://kaitai.io/) is a declarative language used for

describe various binary data structures, laid out in files or in memory:

i.e. binary file formats, network stream packet formats, etc.

It is similar to [Python's Construct 2.10](https://construct.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

but it is language-agnostic. The format description is done in YAML-based .ksy

format, which then can be compiled into a wide range of target languages.
