Generated Method Format and Calling Parameters
Procedure for Calling C# JSON Decode Methods
Reuse of C# Decoding Objects

For each ASN.1 production defined in the ASN.1 source file, a decode method may be generated. This method will decode an ASN.1 message into public member variables within the C# object.

As was the case for encode methods, a decode method is only generated if it is required to alter the behavior of the base class. The C# model is built on inheritance from a set of common run-time base classes. These run-time classes contain default implementations of encode/decode methods that handle the encoding/decoding of the basic types.

Note

Rules for encoding values of ASN.1 types to JSON have not be standardized. We follow the specification available on our webiste at http://www.obj-sys.com/docs/JSON%20Encoding%20Rules.pdf
