I used the command line bitcoin-cli decoderawtransaction <hex-value> and got back a JSON output (see below). However, I noticed there are hex and asm fields that are themselves hex values (at times). I am thinking these are metadata that can further be decoded. Is that right?
Is there any more documentation on the structure and meaning of the JSON passed back for these 2 fields (or more)?
I read this SO post which referred to this out-dated article.
Also, I checked the transaction on bitcoin block explorer. They seem to have a few metadata that I don't see in the JSON (e.g. received time, confirmations, relayed ip, etc...). Where are these values coming from?

}Furthermore, I decoded the raw transaction using https://blockchain.info/decode-tx and got something different.
