The top-level class representing any ASN.1 object. When parsed by ASN1.decode, tagged values are always represented by an instance of ASN1Data.
ASN1Data for parsing tagged values When encoding an ASN.1 type it is inherently clear what original type (e.g. INTEGER, OCTET STRING etc.) this value has, regardless of its tagging. But opposed to the time an ASN.1 type is to be encoded, when parsing them it is not possible to deduce the “real type” of tagged values. This is why tagged values are generally parsed into ASN1Data instances, but with a different outcome for implicit and explicit tagging.
An implicitly 1-tagged INTEGER value will be parsed as an ASN1Data with
tag equal to 1
tag_class equal to :CONTEXT_SPECIFIC
value equal to a String that carries the raw encoding of the INTEGER.
This implies that a subsequent decoding step is required to completely decode implicitly tagged values.
An explicitly 1-tagged INTEGER value will be parsed as an ASN1Data with
tag equal to 1
tag_class equal to :CONTEXT_SPECIFIC
value equal to an Array with one single element, an instance of OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer, i.e. the inner element is the non-tagged primitive value, and the tagging is represented in the outer ASN1Data

An OpenSSL::OCSP::CertificateId identifies a certificate to the CA so that a status check can be performed.
This class represents a YAML Mapping.
A Psych::Nodes::Mapping node may have 0 or more children, but must have an even number of children. Here are the valid children a Psych::Nodes::Mapping node may have:
Authenticator for the “LOGIN” authentication type. See authenticate().
Authenticator for the “PLAIN” authentication type. See authenticate().
Authenticator for the “CRAM-MD5” authentication type. See authenticate().
Authenticator for the “DIGEST-MD5” authentication type. See authenticate().
You don’t want to use this class. Really. Use XPath, which is a wrapper for this class. Believe me. You don’t want to poke around in here. There is strange, dark magic at work in this code. Beware. Go back! Go back while you still can!
