About

A Python package for ASN.1 parsing, encoding and decoding.

This project is under development and does only support a subset of the ASN.1 specification syntax and BER codec.

Project homepage: https://github.com/eerimoq/asn1tools

Documentation: http://asn1tools.readthedocs.org/en/latest

Installation

pip install asn1tools

Example Usage

This is an example ASN.1 specification defining the messages of a fictitious Foo protocol (based on the FooProtocol on Wikipedia).

Foo DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN

    Question ::= SEQUENCE {
        id        INTEGER,
        question  IA5String
    }

    Answer ::= SEQUENCE {
        id        INTEGER,
        answer    BOOLEAN
    }

END

Compile the ASN.1 specification, and encode and decode a question using the default codec (BER).

>>> import asn1tools
>>> foo = asn1tools.compile_file('tests/files/foo.asn')
>>> encoded = foo.encode('Question', {'id': 1, 'question': 'Is 1+1=3?'})
>>> encoded
b'0\x0e\x02\x01\x01\x16\x09Is 1+1=3?'
>>> foo.decode('Question', encoded)
{'id': 1, 'question': 'Is 1+1=3?'}
