  A Rust crate for helping parse and rebuild binary data using ✨macro magic✨.

Serde can work but won't be easy, because It wants to deserialize everything. Take a look at the binrw crate(https://github.com/jam1garner/binrw) and define your binary layout with It, then you can actually create a wrapper which reads the file from any reader(be it a Cursor over the mmap'd slice or a file).
