Re:So you want to serialize some DER? by jnwatson on Tuesday July 01, 2025 @09:06AM (#44433538)
The standard is 41 years old, so there has been plenty of time for extensions.

Practically, the useful encodings are DER, which is canonical and used for crypto, and XER, which is human-readable.

It is a neat spec, chock-full of great ideas. Unfortunately, given its age, there have been many bad implementations of it.
