 The main objectives of this disassembler are:
 
-1. Lighetweight - it's written in C, with no external dependencies, no memory allocated, and thread safe by design.

 3. Resilient - tested against internal fuzzers and the famous [mishegos](https://github.com/trailofbits/mishegos) tool.
 4. Easy to work with - just include the main header file, bddisasm.h, link with the bddisasm library, and call the NdDecode API!
