Hello Salim Just a quick remark on your question -
going from XML to ASN.1 and vice versa After studying the effects of going from a message set specified in the header file format of ANSI C to an ASN.1 specified set versus one specified in XML I made the personal conclusion that ASN.1 is a mature and consistent language to specify message syntaxes. XML-schema is still underway. While the actual instances of messages in XML are straightforward their formal specification is not. Efforts have been made to unify the various xml-schema variants - but the results are not promising - and worse - the resulting protocol specs are bulky, badly structured and not logic. Particularly I fear the effects of having file paths in the xml-schema headers to inherited XML defnitions. Mingling with file paths and trying to put them in a standard format is - to me - deemed to create trouble. My personal conclusion is that I would prefer (given an open standard is asked for with origins that speak to internet technology lovers ) messages specified in XML (given that bandwidth is not an issue) - but I would suggest the message protocol to be specified in ASN.1. Maybe a subset of ASN.1. All the "depreciated" parts of the language makes it difficult for newcomers to master the abstract language fast. Comments wellcome !
