    I had to use it at work in a C++ environment and ended up settling on patching a copy of https://github.com/vlm/asn1c

    Can't say I'd feel confident putting any of this stuff in a public service. Too complex and prone to bugs.

    I've used ASN.1 at work quite a bit, and the reason you won't see it much are pretty much:

    - HORRIBLE schema format.

    - Very few FOSS libraries, most of which are terrible. I used Lev Walkins asn1c[0], which I patched slightly and coupled with some semi-generic code to emit JSON (for debugging purposes).
