der-parser 2.0.0-alpha1

Parser for BER/DER encoding data
Documentation
//! # BER/DER Parser
//!
//! A parser for Basic Encoding Rules (BER [[X.690]]) and Distinguished Encoding Rules(DER
//! [[X.690]]), implemented with the [nom](https://github.com/Geal/nom) parser combinator
//! framework.
//!
//! The code is available on [Github](https://github.com/rusticata/der-parser)
//! and is part of the [Rusticata](https://github.com/rusticata) project.
//!
//! # DER parser design
//!
//! There are two different approaches for parsing DER objects: reading the objects recursively as
//! long as the tags are known, or specifying a description of the expected objects (generally from
//! the [ASN.1][X.680] description).
//!
//! The first parsing method can be done using the [`parse_ber`](ber/fn.parse_ber.html) and
//! [`parse_der`](der/fn.parse_der.html) methods.
//! However, it cannot fully parse all objects, especially those containing IMPLICIT, OPTIONAL, or
//! DEFINED BY items.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate der_parser;
//! use der_parser::parse_der;
//!
//! # fn main() {
//! let bytes = [ 0x30, 0x0a,
//!               0x02, 0x03, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01,
//!               0x02, 0x03, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00,
//! ];
//!
//! let parsed = parse_der(&bytes);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! The second (and preferred) parsing method is to specify the expected objects recursively. The
//! following macros can be used:
//! [`parse_der_sequence_defined`](macro.parse_der_sequence_defined.html) and similar functions,
//! [`parse_der_struct`](macro.parse_der_struct.html), etc.
//!
//! For example, to read a sequence containing two integers:
//!
//! ```rust
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom;
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate rusticata_macros;
//! # #[macro_use] extern crate der_parser;
//! use der_parser::ber::*;
//! use nom::{IResult,Err,ErrorKind};
//!
//! # fn main() {
//! fn localparse_seq(i:&[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8],BerObject> {
//!     parse_der_sequence_defined!(i,
//!         parse_ber_integer,
//!         parse_ber_integer
//!     )
//! }
//! let bytes = [ 0x30, 0x0a,
//!               0x02, 0x03, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01,
//!               0x02, 0x03, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00,
//! ];
//! let parsed = localparse_seq(&bytes);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! All functions return an `IResult` object from `nom`: the parsed
//! [`BerObject`](ber/struct.BerObject.html), an `Incomplete` value, or an error.
//!
//! # Notes
//!
//! - The DER constraints are verified if using `parse_der`.
//! - `BerObject` and `DerObject` are the same objects (type alias). The only difference is the
//!   verification of constraints *during parsing*.
//! - DER integers can be of any size, so it is not possible to store them as simple integers (they
//! are stored as raw bytes). To get a simple value, use
//! [`BerObject::as_u32`](ber/struct.BerObject.html#method.as_u32) (knowning that this method will
//! return an error if the integer is too large), [`BerObject::as_u64`](ber/struct.BerObject.html#method.as_u64),
//! or use the `bigint` feature of this crate and use
//! [`BerObject::as_bigint`](ber/struct.BerObject.html#method.as_bigint).
