x509-parser 0.7.0

Parser for the X.509 v3 format (RFC 5280 certificates)
Documentation
//! Decoding functions for PEM-encoded data
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! To parse a certificate in PEM format, first create the `Pem` object, then decode
//! contents:
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use std::io::Cursor;
//! use x509_parser::pem::{pem_to_der, Pem};
//! use x509_parser::parse_x509_der;
//!
//! static IGCA_PEM: &'static [u8] = include_bytes!("../assets/IGC_A.pem");
//!
//! # fn main() {
//! let res = pem_to_der(IGCA_PEM);
//! let reader = Cursor::new(IGCA_PEM);
//! let (pem,bytes_read) = Pem::read(reader).expect("Reading PEM failed");
//! let x509 = pem.parse_x509().expect("X.509: decoding DER failed");
//! assert_eq!(x509.tbs_certificate.version, 2);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! This is the most direct method to parse PEM data.
//!
//! Another method to parse the certificate is to use `pem_to_der`:
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use x509_parser::pem::pem_to_der;
//! use x509_parser::parse_x509_der;
//!
//! static IGCA_PEM: &'static [u8] = include_bytes!("../assets/IGC_A.pem");
//!
//! # fn main() {
//! let res = pem_to_der(IGCA_PEM);
//! match res {
//!     Ok((rem, pem)) => {
//!         assert!(rem.is_empty());
//!         //
//!         assert_eq!(pem.label, String::from("CERTIFICATE"));
//!         //
//!         let res_x509 = parse_x509_der(&pem.contents);
//!         assert!(res_x509.is_ok());
//!     },
//!     _ => panic!("PEM parsing failed: {:?}", res),
//! }
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! Note that all methods require to store the `Pem` object in a variable, mainly because decoding
//! the PEM object requires allocation of buffers, and that the lifetime of X.509 certificates will
//! be bound to these buffers.
