// Package cryptobyte contains types that help with parsing and constructing
// length-prefixed, binary messages, including ASN.1 DER. (The asn1 subpackage
// contains useful ASN.1 constants.)
//
// The String type is for parsing. It wraps a []byte slice and provides helper
// functions for consuming structures, value by value.
//
// The Builder type is for constructing messages. It providers helper functions
// for appending values and also for appending length-prefixed submessages –
// without having to worry about calculating the length prefix ahead of time.
//
// See the documentation and examples for the Builder and String types to get
// started.
