Microsoft Windows uses specific file format to store applications icons - ICO. This is a container that contains one or more image files (effectively, DIB parts of BMP files or full PNG files are contained inside).
This page hosts a formal specification of Microsoft Windows icon file using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for Java generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the Java runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The Java runtime library is published in the Maven Central Repository. Refer to the artifact page for instructions how to add it into your project with the build tool that you use.
Parse a local file and get structure in memory:
Ico data = Ico.fromFile("path/to/local/file.ico");
Or parse structure from a byte array:
byte[] someArray = new byte[] { ... };
Ico data = new Ico(new ByteBufferKaitaiStream(someArray));
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:
data.numImages() // => Number of images contained in this file
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
