An animation showing an example of a high-level language message format specified by EverParse. From the message, two arrows labeled “EverParse” point to a rectangle labeled “formal specification” and a rectangle labeled “low-level implementation,” respectively, inside a larger rectangle labeled “F* code.” The figure represents EverParse’s ability to automatically generate safe, correct, and fast F* parsing code. “Correctness” is defined as “Correctness: ​parse (serialize msg) = msg​” and “valid msg ==> serialize (parse msg) = msg​.” The F* logo appears with the description that F* is a type theory–based programming language and proof assistant that can prove theorems about programs​. From the “F* code” rectangle, arrows point from the “low-level implementation” rectangle and a rectangle labeled “verified libraries for combinators” to a rectangle labeled “Safe high-performance C code.”
