fast-cbor


> Encode and parse data in the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) data format (RFC7049) as fast as possible.

About

This library is a fork of the awesome node-cbor](https://github.com/RichardLitt/standard-readme)
). It borrows a lot of the interface, but drops all streaming and async processing in favor of a minimal syn api and being as fast as possible.

Installation

``bash
$ npm install --save fast-cbor
`

Benchmarks

Example

`javascript
const cbor = require('cbor')
const assert = require('assert')

const encoded = cbor.encode(true) // returns
const decoded = cbor.decodeFirst(encoded)
// decoded is the unpacked object
assert.ok(obj === true);

// Use integers as keys?
var m = new Map();
m.set(1, 2);
encoded = cbor.encode(m); //
`

The sync encoding and decoding are exported as a
leveldb encoding, as
cbor.leveldb`.

Supported types

The following types are supported for encoding:

* boolean
* number (including -0, NaN, and ±Infinity)
* string
* Array, Set (encoded as Array)

Decoding supports the above types, including the following CBOR tag numbers:
