+node-asn1 is a library for encoding and decoding ASN.1 datatypes in pure JS.
+Currently BER encoding is supported; at some point I'll likely have to do DER.
+
+## Usage
+
+Mostly, if you're *actually* needing to read and write ASN.1, you probably don't
+need this readme to explain what and why.  If you have no idea what ASN.1 is,
+see this: ftp://ftp.rsa.com/pub/pkcs/ascii/layman.asc
+
+The source is pretty much self-explanatory, and has read/write methods for the
+common types out there.
+
+### Decoding
+
+The following reads an ASN.1 sequence with a boolean.
+
+    var Ber = require('asn1').Ber;
+
+    var reader = new Ber.Reader(new Buffer([0x30, 0x03, 0x01, 0x01, 0xff]));
+
+    reader.readSequence();
+    console.log('Sequence len: ' + reader.length);
+    if (reader.peek() === Ber.Boolean)
+      console.log(reader.readBoolean());
+
+### Encoding
+
+The following generates the same payload as above.
+
+    var Ber = require('asn1').Ber;
+
+    var writer = new Ber.Writer();
+
+    writer.startSequence();
+    writer.writeBoolean(true);
+    writer.endSequence();
+
+    console.log(writer.buffer);
