+Construct is a declarative parser (and builder) for binary data.
 
-Instead of writing imperative code to parse a piece of data, you declaratively
-define a data structure that describes your data. As this data structure is not
-code, you can use it in one direction to parse data into Pythonic objects, 
-and in the other direction, convert ("build") objects into binary data.
