mistletoe I originally came across when I was looking for a markup language processor that provided API access for manipulating the DOM tree. markdown-it-py's documentation was a bit hard for me to follow. Meanwhile, there's plenty of source code examples for extra syntax and converters that are easy to read in mistletoe.

Construct is really useful for writing parsers/builders for binary protocols.

I myself am looking for a binary serializer/deserializer that's like construct in python or construct-js, but obviously I wouldn't need some of the types that they have, since C++ already has them.
