der-parser 6.0 roadmap #37

Closed chifflier closed 2 years ago

chifflier commented 3 years ago

placeholder for now, roadmap is not defined yet

Some ideas:

Add &[u8] to error type ? (consequence: BerError will now have a lifetime, but we will be able to tell where the parsing failed)
Use Cow<'a, [u8]> everywhere so BerObject can own data
Support BER constructed strings. This may be done either be reconstructing the data (requiring owned data, see above), ropes (new dependency, for ex the bytes crate), or new/recursive object types (resulting in a complex API)

Adding no_std support to the 6.0 roadmap (PR in #50 )

~~Question: you guys aren't using serde to implement serialization?~~

Nevermind, I read up on some forums and understand why it is difficult to do asn.1 in serde. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up about an amazing crate: rasn that may help you in serialization
