Description

ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) is a popular data structure definition language in some domains such as telecommunications, computer networking and cryptography. See WikiPedia for details.

If we add a RecordReader for ASN.1 encoded binary contents NiFi can be a powerful tool to ingest ASN.1 encoded data into different destinations. Once NiFi provides a RecordReader for ASN.1, all existing Record aware processors can be used to convert format, enrich, filter or update records ... etc.

We could use an Apache 2.0 licensed ASN.1 Java library jASN1.
