Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Standard
Pages: 54
Abstract: The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for version negotiation. These design goals make it different from earlier binary serializations such as ASN.1 and MessagePack.
