The asn1 package is fairly narrowly focused on marshaling / unmarshaling DER data.

I would like to propose incrementally improving the asn1 package to be more generally useful for working with all data related to the ASN.1 standard. To start, I have created a new function NewObjectIdentifier to parse the string representation of a ASN.1 Object Identifier.

// NewObjectIdentifier creates an object identifier from it's string representation.
// Supports ASN.1 notation and dot notation. OID-IRI notation is not supported.
func NewObjectIdentifier(oid string) (oi ObjectIdentifier, err error) {

I have created a PR for it here as a preview: https://github.com/phayes/go/pull/1/files

If the go authors are interested in this, I'll roll it into a proper gerrit change-request. If they are not interested, I'll create a new 3rd party package.

OK that sounds fine @minux .

I have added the functionality to https://github.com/phayes/cryptoid (package still work-in-progress)

Do you want to close this ticket then?

Well, I actually think it's better to integrate into the encoding/asn1 package (or else I wouldn't have filed this issue!). However, having said that, I respect your decision.

Closing this ticket.
