Yes, spirit is the only library targeting your problem within boost. But 
spirit is for parsing anything, but it only has ready-to-use parsers for 
text. You would need to implement own parsers, that would parse e.g. an 
int out of binary data. See:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/spirit/doc/indepth_the_parser.html

Inherit from parser<Derived> and implement the parse function. Look into 
the boost sources to see how predefined parsers are built. Decide upon 
"char type" to use, probably unsigned char for binary data.
