Provides a set of tools for working with binary data formats.

This library uses a `BinaryIO`, to be extended for any `Base.read` operations on

your types. Under the hood, this is an alias to `SwapStreams.SwapStream` which will

make sure you read in the correct endianness. To determine whether endianness should be changed, see `BinaryParsingTools.swap_endianness`.

Then, read any binary data using `read_binary` which will create the create the appropriate `BinaryIO` and dispatch to `Base.read(::BinaryIO, ::Type{MyType})`.

```julia

using BinaryParsingTools

BinaryParsingTools.swap_endianness(io::IO, ::Type{MyType}) = false

function Base.read(::BinaryIO, ::Type{MyType})

  # ...

end

open(io -> read_binary(io, MyType), "data.bin")

```

A `@serializable` macro is furthermore provided to automate the parsing of structs, as so:

```julia

@serializable struct MyType

  x::UInt32

  name::String << String([read(io, UInt8) for _ in 1:32])

end

```

which will automatically define `read(io::IO, ::Type{MyType})` (see the reference documentation for more details on how it works).
