Abstract
Abstract Syntax Notation X (ASN.X) is an Extensible Markup Language
(XML) representation for Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)

1. Introduction
Abstract Syntax Notation X (ASN.X) [ASN.X] is an Extensible Markup
Language (XML) [XML10] [XML11] representation for Abstract Syntax
Notation One (ASN.1) [X.680] specifications. The ASN.X
representation for the ASN.1 basic notation [X.680] [X.680-1] is
described elsewhere [ASN.X].
The grammar of ASN.1 permits the application of encoding instructions
[X.680-1], through type prefixes and encoding control sections, that
modify how abstract values are encoded by nominated encoding rules.
The generic notation for type prefixes and encoding control sections
is defined by the ASN.1 basic notation; however, the notation for
specific encoding instructions, i.e., the EncodingInstruction and
