NBT’s documentation

NBT is a Named Binary Tag parser based upon the specification by Markus Persson.

From the Named Binary Tag specification:

“NBT (Named Binary Tag) is a tag based binary format designed to carry large amounts of binary data with smaller amounts of additional data.”

This project also contains helper classes for dealing with Regions, Chunks and World folders in Minecraft, the main use case for the NBT format.
