mint-cli vs binary-layout vs dataload
Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates

mint-cli
experimentalv1.2.2
A CLI tool for building hex files from excel data and a layout definition.
61
binary-layout
growingv4.0.2
The binary-layout library allows type-safe, inplace, zero-copy access to structured binary data. You define a custom data layout and give it a slice of binary data, and it will allow you to read and write the fields defined in the layout from the binary data without having to copy any of the data. It's similar to transmuting to/from a `#[repr(packed)]` struct, but much safer.

dataload
experimentalv0.1.1
A flexible data loading library for CSV and Excel files with automatic delimiter detection
