Not heard of either of those projects before, but I love how libasn1's README has a thinly veiled hint of disdain for ASN.1

> which can transform ASN.1 into a much more parseable JSON AST

The sign of a person who's been hurt, and doesn't want others to feel the same pain :D

I think you're mistaking this:

> ASN.1 is a... some would say baroque, perhaps obsolete, archaic even, "syntax" for expressing data type schemas, and also a set of "encoding rules" (ERs) that specify many ways to encode values of those types for interchange.

for me expressing disdain for ASN.1. On the contrary: I'm saying those who would say that are wrong:

> ASN.1 is a wheel that everyone loves to reinvent, and often badly. It's worth knowing a bit about it before reinventing this wheel badly yet again.

:)

Ah sorry, emotions and written text are always a hard thing to put together.

Hey, I love how the author describes ASN.1 as a "syntax" in quotes.

What I disagree is on the disdain being veiled. Seems very explicit to me.

Anyway, yeah, I hadn't heard about it before either, and it's great to know that somebody out there did solve that horrible problem already, and that we can use the library.

Ugh, I did not mean to express disdain.

[marcosdumay]

I'm sorry for misinterpreting it then. But I have to say, it's funnier to imagine you did. And easy to relate.

[cryptonector]

Fair.
