Module `std.encoding.cbor`

CBOR (RFC 8949) encoding of any data value.

import std.encoding.cbor;

type Point { x: i64; y: i64; }

fn main() {
    let data = cbor.encode(Point { x: 1, y: 2 });
    match cbor.decode<Point>(data) {
        .Ok(p) => println(p.x + p.y),   // 3
        .Err(e) => println(e),
    }
}

#[wire] records and enums encode by their @N tags; other records by field name.

Functions

Function `encode`

pub fn encode<T: Serializable>(value: T) -> bytes

Encode any data value as CBOR bytes. Records encode as objects keyed by field name in declaration order.

Function `decode`

pub fn decode<T: Serializable>(data: bytes) -> Result<T, wire.DecodeError>

Decode CBOR bytes as T. A failure names the path of the value that did not fit, for example Type: .tags[1]: expected string, found integer.
