fq

Tool, language and format decoders for exploring binary data.

fq demo

Goals

  • Make structured binary data accessible.
  • Nested formats and bit-oriented decoding.
  • Quick CLI tool that mimics jq as much as possible.
  • Do bit and byte transformations and conversions.
  • Programmer's calculator.

NOTE: fq is early in development and many things are missing, broken or do not make sense. That also means there is a great opportunity to help out.
