For data exchange, what is wrong with using an ASN1 specified, BER encoded file? Genuine question...



The binary encodings are cumbersome and difficult to perfect.


Isn't it simply a matter of delegating it to a library -- the encoding and decoding I mean? I have had occasion to use Java and Python libraries for this and faced no problems.
