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Refresh outdated modules in pyasn1-packages.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
