I am assigned a project to create a new binary file structure for storing co-ordinate information coming out of a 3d CAD/CAM software. I would highly appreciate if you kindly point out some articles or books regarding creation of new binary file format. Thanks for your time 🙂
There’s a universal binary (and compact) notation called ASN.1. It’s used widely and there are books about it available. ASN.1 can be compared to XML, but on some lower (more primitive yet more flexible) level than XML. And XML, especially binary XML mentioned above, would be of great help to you too.
Also, if you have more than just one sequence of data to hold in your file, take a look at Solid File System as a container for several data streams in one file.
