pub trait FromBer<'a, E = Error>: Sized {
fn from_ber(bytes: &'a [u8]) -> ParseResult<'_, Self, E>;
}
Expand description
Base trait for BER object parsers
Library authors should usually not directly implement this trait, but should prefer implementing the
TryFrom<Any>
trait,
which offers greater flexibility and provides an equivalent FromBer
implementation for free.
Examples
use asn1_rs::{Any, Result, Tag};
use std::convert::TryFrom;
// The type to be decoded
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub struct MyType(pub u32);
impl<'a> TryFrom<Any<'a>> for MyType {
type Error = asn1_rs::Error;
fn try_from(any: Any<'a>) -> Result<MyType> {
any.tag().assert_eq(Tag::Integer)?;
// for this fictive example, the type contains the number of characters
let n = any.data.len() as u32;
Ok(MyType(n))
}
}
// The above code provides a `FromBer` implementation for free.
// Example of parsing code:
use asn1_rs::FromBer;
let input = &[2, 1, 2];
// Objects can be parsed using `from_ber`, which returns the remaining bytes
// and the parsed object:
let (rem, my_type) = MyType::from_ber(input).expect("parsing failed");
