Comprehensive Library of File Format Specifications Using Kaitai Struct

The Kaitai Struct Format Gallery serves as an extensive repository of file format specifications defined in the Kaitai Struct language. Each specification provides a formal description of how a given file type is structured, enabling programmers and analysts to work with binary files more effectively. These specifications can be directly used as precise text references, visualized as block diagrams using Graphviz, or employed to explore binary data in hex dumps interactively. Moreover, they can be compiled into ready-to-use libraries across multiple programming languages using the Kaitai Struct compiler. The gallery includes an impressive range of categories, from 3D model formats such as glTF and Quake models to Android-specific images and bootloaders, a variety of archive formats like ZIP, RAR, and RPM, database formats including SQLite and DBF, as well as operating-system–specific structures for DOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. It also documents formats for multimedia files, geospatial applications, firmware, executable files, security keys, and serialization protocols like ASN.1 DER, protobuf, and msgpack. This organized index helps researchers, reverse engineers, and developers understand or manipulate file internals with ease. Contributors are encouraged to share their own Kaitai Struct (.ksy) specifications through GitHub by forking the format gallery repository and submitting pull requests, thus fostering a collaborative and open technical resource.
