+Construct is a powerful declarative parser for binary data.
+
+It is based on the concept of defining data structures in a declarative
+manner, rather than procedural code: Simple constructs can be combined
+hierarchically to form increasingly complex data structures. It's the
+first library that makes parsing fun, instead of the usual headache it
+is today.
+
+Construct features bit and byte granularity, symmetrical operation
+(parsing and building), component-oriented declarative design, easy
+debugging and testing, an easy-to-extend subclass system, and lots of
+primitive constructs to make your work easier.
