Are there any libraries for defining and generating code for byte- or bit- aligned messaging or packet formats?

  The bit level data interchange format for serializing data structures (long term maintenance).

I had a similar use case for embedded microcontroller work. Unfortunately, the only one that I found that lets you have bit-level control is bitproto. The problem with all these protocol formats is that they require generated sources to be included in your project at compile time.

  Kaitai Struct: declarative language to generate binary data parsers in C++ / C# / Go / Java / JavaScript / Lua / Nim / Perl / PHP / Python / Ruby

  

Kaitai Struct is really good for reading arbitrary formats, but unfortunately cannot write. Also has been a while since the last update there...
