AsnToXml Document Processor

The

AsnToXml

document processor converts ASN.1 data to XML.

The processor input format must be the BER encoding format that the ASN.1 standard defines. The output XML is identical to the ASN.1 XER encoding.

This processor is available when you install the

Data Transformation

ASN.1 library.

The following table describes the properties of the
