Basic Encoding Rules (BER) objects and parser

§BER Objects

The main object of this crate is BerObject. It contains a header (ber tag, class, and size) and content.

To parse primitive objects (for ex. integers or strings), use the parse_ber_ set of functions.

Constructed objects (like sequences, sets or tagged objects) require to use a combinator. This combinator takes a function or closure as input, and returns a new, specialized parser. See the nom parser combinator library for more details on combinators.

§Examples

Parse two BER integers:

use der_parser::ber::parse_ber_integer;

let bytes = [ 0x02, 0x03, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01,
              0x02, 0x03, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00,
];

let (rem, obj1) = parse_ber_integer(&bytes).expect("parsing failed");
let (rem, obj2) = parse_ber_integer(&bytes).expect("parsing failed");

Parse a BER sequence containing one integer and an octetstring:

use der_parser::ber::*;

let bytes = [ 0x30, 0x0a,
              0x02, 0x03, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01,
              0x04, 0x03, 0x62, 0x61, 0x64,
];

let (rem, seq) = parse_ber_sequence_defined(|content| {
        let (rem, obj1) = parse_ber_integer(content)?;
        let (rem, obj2) = parse_ber_octetstring(rem)?;
        Ok((rem, vec![obj1, obj2]))
    })(&bytes)
    .expect("parsing failed");
