Parses ASN.1 value notation into a Python object or JSON without requiring its ASN.1 schema.

Project description

asn1vnparser

https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/asn1vnparser.svg https://img.shields.io/travis/mtannaan/asn1vnparser.svg Documentation Status

Parses ASN.1 value notation into a Python object or JSON without requiring its ASN.1 schema.

Features

  • Parsing ASN.1 value notation into a Python object, or a JSON string

  • No ASN.1 Schema Required

Limitations

  • Since Knowledge of schema is not used, misdetection of ASN.1 types can occur; see Type Translations section.

  • Some ASN.1 types and grammars are not supported; see grammar.py.

Type Translations

asn1vnparser performs the following type translations:

ASN.1 Type

Python Type

JSON Type

Example (ASN.1 -> Python)

NULL

None

null

NULL -> None

BOOLEAN

bool

True/False

TRUE -> True

INTEGER

int

number (int)

3 -> 3

REAL

float

number (real)

0.1 -> 0.1

BIT STRING (^1)

bitarray.bitarray

string (e.g. “010101”)

‘010101’B -> bitarray.bitarray(‘010101’)

OCTET STRING (^1)

bytes

string (e.g. “0123ab”)

‘0123AB’H -> b’x01x23xab’

cstring (PrintableString, etc.)

str

string

“foobar” -> ‘foobar’

ENUMERATED

str

string

any-identifier -> ‘any-identifier’

CHOICE

Dict[str, Any]

{“string”: (any JSON object)}

alt1 : 123 -> {‘alt1’: 123}

Open Type (e.g. type field)

Dict[str, Any]

{“String”: (any JSON object)}

Type1 : 123 -> {‘Type1’: 123}

empty SEQUENCE or SEQUENCE OF

{} (empty dict)

{} (empty object)

{} -> {}, [] -> {}

SEQUENCE

dict

object

{f1 val, f2 1} -> {‘f1’: ‘val’, ‘f2’: 1}

SEQUENCE OF

list

array

[1, 2, 3] -> [1, 2, 3]

OBJECT IDENTIFIER

List[int]

array of number (int)

{1 2 3} -> [1, 2, 3]

(^1) CONTAINING (some_value) is interpreted as simply (some_value), e.g.:

{
    field1 123,
    field2 CONTAINING {
        field2-1 TRUE,
        field2-2 FALSE
    }
}

is parsed into following Python object:

{
    "field1": 123,
    "field2": {
        "field2-1": True,
        "field2-2": False
    }
}

This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template.

History

0.2.1 (2021-11-14)

  • Disable pyparsing v3, which breaks tests

  • Update license to ISC

0.2.0 (2019-10-02)

New Features

  • Partial parsing of a value or a value assignment (parse_all option)

>>> parse_asn1_value(
...     "alt1: enum1\n---this is remaining string---",
...     as_json=True,
...     parse_all=False)  # as_json
('{"alt1": "enum1"}', '\n---this is remaining string---')
  • Parsing multiple value assignments

>>> parse_asn1_value_assignments(
...     'value1 INTEGER ::= 1\nvalue2 Type2 ::= the-value')
[
    {'value_name': 'value1', 'type_name': 'INTEGER', 'value': 1},
    {'value_name': 'value2', 'type_name': 'Type2', 'value': 'the-value'}
]

Bug Fixes

  • CLI no longer crashes when given --json option.

0.1.0 (2019-09-29)

  • First release on PyPI.
