+# `goo_format`
+
+Library for encoding and decoding Elegoo's proprietary `.goo` file format.
+A binary is also included for inspecting and debugging the sliced goo files, with the option to dump the layers as png images.
+
+If you ended up here trying to learn more about the format, make sure you read the [official format spec](https://github.com/elegooofficial/GOO).
+Some things aren't mentioned in the spec like how everything is big-endian, the checksum is just the negated sum of all bytes in the payload, and the image data encoding specification is hard to follow, so look at [my implementation](src/encoded_layer.rs).
+Also, if you use [ImHex](https://imhex.werwolv.net), I have created a pattern file ([goo.hexpat](goo.hexpat)) that may be helpful.
