Original Description
====================
Construct is a library for parsing and building of data structures (binary or
textual).

The original description is 
It is based on the concept of defining data structures in a declarative manner,
rather than procedural code: more complex constructs are composed of a hierarchy
of simpler ones. It's the first library that makes parsing fun, instead of the
usual headache it is today.

Construct features bit and byte granularity, symmetrical operation (parsing
and building), component-oriented design (declarative), easy debugging and
testing, easy to extend (subclass constructs), and lots of primitive constructs
to make your work easier (fields, structs, unions, repeaters, meta constructs,
switches, on-demand parsing, pointers, etc.)
