Need to create binary files with data for Your program, game etc.? Tired of using hex-editor and editing the file manually with the risk of structure-mismatches? Too lazy to reedit complete file after changing structure members order or size?

"data2bin" is a utility that takes:

1. Your structures description (you can use integers of different sizes and endiannesses, null-terminated text strings, fixed-size binary strings, structures, arrays...)

2. Your data in a XML file written down according to defined structure.

... and produces final binary file. It is able to pad Your strings with defined padding, check Your integers' sizes, it can fill default values where You didn't supply data, it can also, for example, put a "blank" array member at the end of an array etc.

Whenever You change your structure in Your code, just update the data-description file and "rebuild" Your binary files without touching XML data files!
