RE: Can XSLT produce binary output: ASN.1-BER

2002-11-22 08:53:38
I would be inclined to write a custom serializer for this. Many
processors give you access to the result tree in the form of a SAX event
stream, which you can capture in a user-written SAX2 ContentHandler. 

This allows your XSLT stylesheet to concentrate on generating the ASN.1
representation as a tree, and the serializer to contain all the
knowledge about the BER encoding of ASN.1

An alternative is that there is, I believe, an XML encoding of ASN.1,
and therefore presumably a converter from that to BER.

Subject: [xsl] Can XSLT produce binary output: ASN.1-BER


I have a XML document and would like to transform it to ASN.1-BER. 
How would I do this with XSLT? 
The BER is a binary format but so is PDF. Therefore it should 
be possible? Has anyone done that already?
