Subject: [xml-dev] BER To XML Data Conversion
> XML-DEV...
>
> Hello! I am new to XML, and have just discovered XML-DEV. I am
> writing to you now to request comments, suggestions, and
> recommendations on some work I am doing. You could say that I am also
> looking for the problem that fits my solution. :)
>
> I have written some software that converts protocol data from the
> binary BER format to XML. BER is a popular format for encoding
> protocols that are defined using ASN.1.
>
> The conversion process is protocol-specific. The software applies
> element names and data formats as per the ASN.1 protocol definition.
> The software is capable of handling several of the current protocols
> defined by ASN.1, and that support can be easily extended to include
> many others. Popular protocols such as SNMP, LDAP, MAP, TCAP, and
> X.509 are already supported.
>
> Most of these protocols are easy 'base' protocols. But the software
> is also able to support the massive and complex GSM/UMTS MAP protocol,
> where it must perform the MAP conversion based on information is takes
> from a TCAP base. I hope to support X.509 certificate extensions in a
> similar manner in the future.
>
> Please see http://www.holmespun.biz/berasno/ for details and examples.
>
> I am currently working on the XML to BER conversion functionality. I
> would like to find a partner or a sponsor... or at least hear some
> words of encouragement... before I spend too much more of my time.
>
> Obviously, I am not sure how useful the functionality is, but it seems
> to be unique, so I thought I would write to ask for your opinions.
>
> What do you think of the functionality in general?
>
> Do you know of anyone else working on this sort of functionality?
>
> Do you know of any commercial use for this functionality?
>
> What do you think of my implementation of it specifically?
>
> How could the resulting XML be improved?
>
> Are there other protocols that you would like to see supported?
>
> Do you have some data that you would like to see converted?
>
> Please feel free to forward this message to anyone else you think
> might be interested.
>
> Thank you.
