+hachoir-parser is a package of most common file format parsers written
+using hachoir-core. Not all parsers are complete, some are very good
+and other are poor: only parse first level of the tree for example.
+
+A perfect parser have no "raw" field: with a perfect parser you are
+able to know *each* bit meaning. Some good (but not perfect) parsers:
+* Matroska video
+* Microsoft RIFF (AVI video, WAV audio, CDA file)
+* PNG picture
+* TAR and ZIP archive
