[mythtv] MythSOAP Expressions Of Interest

[Paul Woodward]

You can get ASN1 libraries that will automatically generate the parser and generator code for both Java and C++. You can specify whether you want high speed or low code footprint when you generate the code.

I can't remember the name off hand, but they are used for high performance bus communications at my workplace.
