Module Condition

Module definition of Condition property decorators.

The Condition decorators are used to handle scenarios where parts of a binary file format exist conditionally, based on values determined at runtime.

These decorators enable the parser to dynamically select the Primitive.Relation to read next, based on the provided conditions. This functionality is essential for parsing formats that have conditional properties or polymorphic structures.

Condition decorators are executed before reading a property to determine the type of the next relation to read.
