New software line opened - Binary DOM technology

Miraplacid Data Viewer is a file structure viewer. It shows internal hierarchy of a file as a tree. Viewer highlighted selected tree item in the hex viewer panel. A byte selected in a hex viewer can be looked up in the tree. Miraplacid Data Viewer is powered with rich search and data mining capabilities. User can explicitly specify type of the loaded file, or let Viewer to auto-detect it, and save selected chunks of data to a file. Miraplacid Data Viewer is based on Miraplacid Binary Document Object Model (DOM) technology. This technology is designed for software engineers to speed up binary files access programming. Just like Miraplacid Data Viewer, it provides access to binary file internals. Moreover, it allows client software to modify binary file internals, conveniently add or remove parts of binary file, and even create a file from scratch. Miraplacid Binary DOM Software Development Kit (Miraplacid Binary DOM SDK) contains documentation and examples to demonstrate the power of Miraplacid Binary DOM technology. Miraplacid Binary DOM technology, together with Miraplacid Data Viewer and Miraplacid Binary DOM SDK are free for personal use and for qualified educational institutions.
