+![](https://img.shields.io/badge/written%20in-C%2B%2B-blue)
+
+An assembler for x86_32.
+
+This project contains two parts:
+- An assembler library, capable of producing x86_32 output in either raw binary format, COFF .obj binary format, and/or NASM text format
+- An assembler binary around it, which parses assembly input files and calls into the above library
+
+It's intended to be useful either as a standalone assembler, or integrated as a library into part of a larger toolchain.
