It provides the capability to transform ASN.1-encoded data to a delimited format by assigning an ASN.1 schema to binary data. No programming is required to produce the output, and the conversions may be done in a batch process.
ASN2TXT attempts to address a common need in data mediation: the conversion of binary-encoded ASN.1 other formats suitable for user editing or database population. Common applications include CDR formats like TAP3, R12, CCN, and newer 3G CDR formats.
As an example, the following command-line can be used to translate a Transferred Account Procedure (TAP3) batch file to CSV format:
asn2txt message.dat -csv -schema TAP-0311.asn
