===== |

|
|
|
This is a simple library for doing marshalling of python objects that |
|
|
|
uses a profile/subset of ASN.1. This library is not designed to be a |
|
|
|
general ASN.1 parser, but designed to be super simple to use, and |
|
|
|
secure. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following python types are supported: bool, int (and long), bytes, |
|
|
|
null (as None), float, unicode, datetime, list, set and dict. If you |
|
|
|
need to serialize other types/instances, a coerce function maybe |
|
|
|
provided which is required to return the above string and an object |
|
|
|
implementing the correct methods. See the ASN1Coder's __init__ |
|
|
|
method's doc string for more information. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ASN.1 has a number of different types of strings, but only UTF8String |
|
|
|
is used by this library. In order to support dict types, it uses the |
|
|
|
Private Constructed type 0. The contents are pairs of key value objects. |
|
|
|
bytes (aka str in Python 2) is mapped to the octet string type. The |
|
|
|
minimal encoding is used so that the same data will be encoded as the |
|
|
|
same string, similar to the ASN.1 DER encoding. |
