For every hater of ASN.1, what's better? ASN.1 at least can be run through a compiler (ala Protobufs | Thrift). JSON? XML? CSV? GTFO.
@sleevi_ @bascule The code using it (e.g. https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/blob/f79326e9605f5080e63e96bc20fc184a7d7ca381/lib/hx509/cert.c …) seems to prove my point, parsing the AST like it would parse the bytes.

@BRIAN_____@bascule I'm not sure I follow your issue... that it parses the whole cert into symbolic structure? That's just an design choice -
@BRIAN_____@bascule My point was more that ASN.1 can be formally compiled, w/o hand rolling a parser. JSON and XML can't. eg. JWK awfulness -
