Tiny CBOR
This minimal generic library decodes and encodes most useful CBOR structures
into simple JavaScript structures:
- Maps with keys as
strings or numbers with CBORType values as a Map
- Arrays of
CBORType values
- integers as
numbers
- float32 and float64 as
numbers
- float16
NaN, Infinity, -Infinity
strings- byte strings as
Uint8Array
- booleans
null and undefined- tags as
CBORTag(tag, value)
Limitations
This implementation does not support:
- indefinite length maps, arrays, text strings, or byte strings.
- half precision floating point numbers
- integers outside the range of
[-9007199254740991, 9007199254740991], see
Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER
- native output to JSON
- does not support generic objects, only
Maps
This implementation has the following constraints:
- Map keys may only be strings or numbers
- Tags are not interpreted
Behavior
Maps that have duplicate keys will throw an error during decoding. Decoding data
that is incomplete will throw an error during decoding.
