> ASN.1 DER, BER, or OER? Or XER or JER! My opinion is that DER is better. (However, DER is a restricted form of BER; any DER file is also a valid BER file, but has certain requirements of the encoding, so that it is a canonical form (the other canonical form is CER, but my opinion is DER is better).) > Every programming environment has a way to talk about ASN.1. Not all implementations are well-designed, though; I can see many implementations of ASN.1 that are not well-designed. I made up my own, to hope to be better, but we will see what is (hopefully) better. > But what we don't need, IMHO, is more investment in "simple" technologies like varlink that end up being too simple I agree with this, and it is important. This is my intention when I was designing stuff, to not be too simple nor too complicated; most stuff I see tends to be either too complicated or too simple, so I try to make stuff better than that. |
