True
There are primitive types, holding single values
Decoding
--------
-Decoding is performed using ``decode()`` method. ``offset`` optional
-argument could be used to set initial object's offset in the binary
-data, for convenience. It returns decoded object and remaining
-unmarshalled data (tail). Internally all work is done on
+Decoding is performed using :py:meth:`pyderasn.Obj.decode` method.
+``offset`` optional argument could be used to set initial object's
+offset in the binary data, for convenience. It returns decoded object
+and remaining unmarshalled data (tail). Internally all work is done on
``memoryview(data)``, and you can leave returning tail as a memoryview,
by specifying ``leavemm=True`` argument.
+Also note convenient :py:meth:`pyderasn.Obj.decod` method, that
+immediately checks and raises if there is non-empty tail.
+
When object is decoded, ``decoded`` property is true and you can safely
use following properties:
Context
_______
-You can specify so called context keyword argument during ``decode()``
-invocation. It is dictionary containing various options governing
-decoding process.

of ``PKIResponse``::
- content_info, tail = ContentInfo().decode(data, ctx={"defines_by_path": (

It could be useful for general decoding of some unspecified values:
- >>> PrimitiveTypes().decode(hexdec("0403666f6f"))[0].value
+ >>> PrimitiveTypes().decod(hexdec("0403666f6f")).value
OCTET STRING 3 bytes 666f6f

+ >>> PrimitiveTypes().decod(hexdec("0203123456")).value
INTEGER 1193046
