ASN.1 Decoder

The ASN.1, or Abstract Syntax Notation One format, used widely as a standard interface description language for the data structures which can be either serialized or deserialized, will require of users specialized software for handling it, especially when it comes to data transferring and decoding.

One such specialized tool is ASN.1 Decoder, which is an application that was created specifically in order to provide users with the means to migrate ASN.1 BER (Basic Encoding Rules) format data, to a series of output formats.

The application features two sections, one for adding the preferred ASN.1 data, and one for previewing the decoded values. The first allows one to either use data streams or, actual values, which can be viewed as Boolean, Integers, BitStrings, etc. Dedicated input and results fields are provided.

Users will be able to preview the results as XML structures, and ASN.1 Decoder offers separate highlighting for ASN.1 tags, length, and values. The results are provided as a tree-view, which allows users to inspect the resulting structure hierarchically, by toggling the different nodes.

Last but not least, a series of on-screen controls allow one to easily load, adjust the view, or clear the added data altogether.
