[Boost-users] Can boost help me organize/parse lots of binary data?

I am receiving a "live" stream of binary data that represents the states of various objects. Sort of like this: Car Speed (m/s): float32 Temperature (deg): uint16 ... My real packets have hundreds of items in them. I will be decoding many of these "packets" and doing various things with them like printing their values to console, etc. My plan is just to make classes: class Car { public: void Decode(istream&); private: float speed; unsigned temperature ... }; But it will not be very extendable. Unfocused open-ended question: Does boost offer something that will help me with this? Thank you, Chris
