  "description_en": "Open-source macOS hex editor that inspects and edits binary files of any size without loading them into memory. It supports insertions and deletions, fast search and a data inspector that reads integers and floating-point values as signed or unsigned and big- or little-endian. File > Compare shows the differences between two files while accounting for inserted or deleted bytes, and Tcl binary templates display a file's structure next to its bytes; bundled templates cover COFF, ELF, Mach-O and MS-DOS EXE headers, 6502 disassembly and Commodore 64 PRG files, plus archives, file systems, partition tables and media formats. Its hex and data views are also available as an embeddable framework.",
