Fq: Jq for Binary Formats

note that the tool linked is for binary files. ASN.1 is text, isn't it?

I assume they meant the binary encodings of asn.1 like BER/DER.

And tangentially PEM, which is Base64-encoded DER.

That’s what I thought until recently, but it turns out that PEM refers to just base64 wrapped with ——BEGIN—— and ——END—— lines, and the encapsulated data does not have to be DER.
