Structure Editor

Starting from version 6.01, Hex Editor Neo includes built-in Structure Editor. Use this editor to modify any existing structure definition or to create new definitions. The editor has built-in syntax coloring and you may customize used colors as described in Structure Editor Coloring section. Starting from version 7.01, the built-in editor may also be used to create or edit Kaitai definition files.

Built-in structure editor allows you to view and edit structure definition files. To open a file, use one of the following:

File » Open » Open Structure File
