Product Information

Description

Ari is a purely functional programming language specifically engineered for typing binary files, enabling developers to define precise structural interpretations of raw binary data through type declarations. Its core functionality revolves around parsing and validating binary formats by mapping sequences of bytes to structured types, which facilitates error detection, data integrity verification, and automated serialization/deserialization processes. Key features include strong static typing guarantees, immutability by design, and composable type definitions that support complex nested structures common in cryptographic protocols, file formats, and network packets. Use cases span software development and cryptography, such as implementing secure communication protocols, analyzing malware binaries, reverse-engineering proprietary formats, or ensuring compliance with standardized specifications like TLS or blockchain transactions. By abstracting low-level byte manipulation into declarative type systems, Ari reduces manual parsing errors and enhances code maintainability in domains where binary data reliability is critical.
