tder

small ASN1 DER and PEM parser in pure js

wow, just 100 lines of code and the module can parse ASN1-DER data structures. it is made to read informations from certificates. tested with certificates generated with hyperledger cryptogen and the github.com certificate

// test.js
var tder = require('./index');
var fs = require('fs');
 
 
var asn1 = tder.parsePem(`
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

you can clearly see the issue and subject, to verify if the datastructures are are valid and are signed correctly, you need to look elsewhere.
