This page hosts a formal specification of Microsoft Compound File Binary (CFB), AKA OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) file format using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for JavaScript generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the JavaScript runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The JavaScript runtime library is available at npm:
npm install kaitai-structSee the usage examples in the JavaScript notes.
Parse structure from an ArrayBuffer:
var arrayBuffer = ...;
var data = new MicrosoftCfb(new KaitaiStream(arrayBuffer));
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing fields or properties like:
data.header // => get header
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
