lisp-binary and ieee-floats in data structures? #481

Closed WillForan closed 6 months ago

WillForan commented 6 months ago

I have a few binary files that don't yet have a dedicated parsing library implemented (NIfTI) or are e.g. a bunch of floats written to a binary file from matlab. https://github.com/j3pic/lisp-binary is super useful for these. It'd be great to have it listed here!

I also ran into the simpler https://github.com/marijnh/ieee-floats and the already linked Practical Common Lisp mp3 binary parsing book section

I'm not sure where either would fit. Maybe in data structures or Numerical and Scientific?

lisp-binary's tutorial example reads exif from jpeg. It's not a GUI library (like png) and it is possibly more generic than just numeric & scientific .

Hi, thanks for the input. lisp-binary even has recent commits and documentation \o/ It looks like a good candidate for inclusion, ieee-floats less so IMO (you could make sur it is present on Cliki though).

There is also the "Text parsers" section (which could be re-titled).
