Having clean/simple/lightweight/intuitive architecture-neutral API. Provide details on disassembled instruction (called “decomposer” by others). Provide semantics of the disassembled instruction, such as list of implicit registers read & written. Implemented in pure C language, with lightweight bindings for D, Clojure, F#, Common Lisp, Visual Basic, PHP, PowerShell, Emacs, Haskell, Perl, Python, Ruby, C#, NodeJS, Java, GO, C++, OCaml, Lua, Rust, Delphi, Free Pascal & Vala (ready either in main code, or provided externally by the community).

Udis86 is an easy-to-use minimalistic disassembler library for the x86 and x86-64 instruction set architectures. The primary intent of the design and development of udis86 is to aid software development projects that entail binary code analysis.

BinExport is a disassembly export plugin developed by Google as part of the BinDiff ecosystem, designed for reverse engineering and binary analysis. It works with popular disassemblers including IDA Pro, Binary Ninja, and Ghidra, enabling the export of disassembly data into a structured Protocol Buffer format. This exported data can then be used for binary comparison, diffing, and advanced analysis tasks through BinDiff or other compatible tools. BinExport captures detailed information such as instructions, functions, control flow graphs, and metadata, providing a machine-readable representation of a program’s disassembled structure. It supports multiple export formats, including binary, text, and statistics outputs, and can be used interactively or via scripting (IDC, IDAPython, or Ghidra’s headless mode). The project includes complete build instructions for Linux, macOS, and Windows, ensuring reproducibility across platforms.

Q Disassembler is a flexible disassembly engine that aims to provide precise information about machine instructions while maintaining OS-independence and performance.

An educational software system of a tiny self-compiling C compiler, a tiny self-executing RISC-V emulator, and a tiny self-hosting RISC-V hypervisor. Selfie is a project of the Computational Systems Group at the Department of Computer Sciences of the University of Salzburg in Austria. The Selfie Project provides an educational platform for teaching undergraduate and graduate students the design and implementation of programming languages and runtime systems. The focus is on the construction of compilers, libraries, operating systems, and even virtual machine monitors. The common theme is to identify and resolve self-reference in systems code which is seen as the key challenge when teaching systems engineering, hence the name. Selfie is implemented in a single (!) file and kept minimal for simplicity. There is also a simple in-memory linker, a RISC-U disassembler, a garbage collector, L1 instruction and data caches, a profiler, and a debugger with replay.
