Bitsplain is a library that helps people understand Bitcoin-related binary data. When provided with some data — be it a binary file, hex-encoded string or any other commonly used encoding scheme — Bitsplain first tries to identify what the data represent and if it succeeds it offers an explanation of the data through “annotations”. These annotations consist of description, data type, rendered value, position in the binary input etc.
The library does not interpret the annotations, however crate bitsplain-bin offers two user interfaces, a CLI and GTK.
Under heavy development, not yet ready for being used.
Library decodes binary input by trying multiple parsers and will return annotations for the successful ones. So far it can detect only a few kinds of data (block header, transaction, some LN gossip messages and a few more). The annotations are not yet complete and too detailed.
More parsers and more annotations will be continuously added.
Not now but it may be possible at some point.

Instead of DATA, you can pass one of these. You can provide them as arguments or paste them (CTRL+V) into running GTK application.
