Things to be done
|
=================
|
|
Big things to tackle, anyone interested is welcome to fork pyasn1, work on
|
it and come up with a PR!
|
|
New codecs
|
----------
|
|
* PER
|
* OER
|
* XER
|
* LWER
|
* JSON (alinged with existing experimental schemas)
|
|
Lazy codecs
|
-----------
|
|
Implement a thin layer over base types to cache pieces
|
of substrate being decoded till the very moment of ASN.1
|
object access in the parse tree.
|
|
Codecs generator interface
|
--------------------------
|
|
For indefinite length or chunked encoding mode, make codecs
|
iterable producing/consuming substrate/objects.
|
|
ASN.1 schema compiler
|
---------------------
|
|
Ideally, the compiler should parse modern schema files and be
|
designed to emit code for arbitrary languages (including SQL).
|
|
Base types
|
----------
|
|
Implement X.680 constructs, including information schema.
|
|
Examples
|
--------
|
|
Add examples, including advanced/obscure use cases.
|
|
Documentation
|
-------------
|
|
Document more API, add notes and example snippets.
|
|
More fresh modules
|
------------------
|
|
Compile and ship more Pythonized ASN.1 modules for
|
various ASN.1-based protocols (e.g. Kerberos etc).
|
Refresh outdated modules in pyasn1-packages.
|
|
Minor, housekeeping things
|
--------------------------
|
|
* more PEP8'ing at places
|
* consider simplifying repr(), otherwise it tend to be too hard to grasp
|
* Specialize ASN.1 character and useful types
|
|
* ber.decoder:
|
|
* suspend codec on underrun error ?
|
* present subtypes ?
|
* component presence check wont work at innertypeconst
|
* type vs value, defaultValue
|
|
* ber.encoder:
|
|
* Asn1Item.clone() / shallowcopy issue
|
* large length encoder?
|
* lookup type by tag first to allow custom codecs for non-base types
|
|
* type.useful:
|
|
* may need to implement prettyIn/Out
|
|
* type.char:
|
|
* may need to implement constraints
|
|
* type.namedtypes
|
|
* type vs tagset name convention
|
|
* how untagged TagSet should be initialized?
|
|
* type and codecs for Real needs refactoring
|
