Encoding data in BER.
This modules provides means to encode data in BER.
Encoding is done using helper types called encoders that represent the
structure of the BER encoding. These types implement the trait
Values. A type that can be encoded as BER typically provides a method
named encode that produces a value of its encoder type representing the
value’s encoding. If necessary, they can also provide a method
encode_as that does the same thing but allows the caller to provide an
tag to use for encoding as is necessary for implicit tagging.
The Values type can then be used to simply write the encoding to
anything that implements the standard library’s io::Write trait.
The trait PrimitiveContent helps with producing encoders for types
that use the primitive encoding. Through this trait the types can declare
how their content is encoded and receive an automatic encoder type based
on that.
The module also provides a number of helper types that make it easier to implement encoders in various situations.
For a more detailed introduction to writing the encode methods of
types, see the encode section of the guide.
