java function emv tlv

I'm looking for a way to translate an EMV response with Java like with this online option:

http://www.emvlab.org/tlvutils/

where you put something like this EMV response:

6f3a8407a0000000031010a52f500b56495341204352454449548701015f2d086573656e707466729f12074352454449544f9f1101019f38039f1a02

and it will show you everything perfectly, I started doing something by myself but then I realize that maybe we could have two 9F38(PDOL) Strings not neccesary two same tags cuz I know it's impossible but maybe the value of a tag end in 9F and the start of the next tag would be 38 and that would give me an error... Now that I mention it, is that possible? cuz that was one of the main reasons why I stopped doing my own function..

Does any of you have written a function to do this already?

Thanks!

https://github.com/binaryfoo/emv-bertlv should do the trick.

Using your example, the following code:

List<DecodedData> decoded = new RootDecoder().decode("6f3a8407a0000000031010a52f500b56495341204352454449548701015f2d086573656e707466729f12074352454449544f9f1101019f38039f1a02", "EMV", "constructed");
new DecodedWriter(System.out).write(decoded, "");

Will output:

[6F (FCI template)] 8407A0000000031010A52F500B56495341204352454449548701015F...1A02
