CBOR::PP - CBOR in pure Perl
my $value = CBOR::PP::decode( $cbor ); my $tagged = CBOR::PP::tag( 123, 'value' ); my $cbor = CBOR::PP::encode( [ 'some', { data => $tagged } ] ); # canonical encoding $cbor = CBOR::PP::encode( { aa => 'last', a => 'first', z => 'middle' }, { canonical => 1 }, );
This library implements a CBOR encoder and decoder in pure Perl.
This module itself is a syntactic convenience. For details about what CBOR::PP can and can’t do, see the underlying CBOR::PP::Encode and CBOR::PP::Decode modules.
This distribution is an experimental effort.
That having been said, CBOR is a simple enough encoding that I suspect—I hope!—that bugs here will be few and far between.
Note that, because CBOR::Free is so much faster, there probably won’t be much further effort put into this pure-Perl code.
Note that this distribution’s interface can still change. If you decide to use CBOR::PP in your project, please always check the changelog before upgrading.
CBOR::Free is a much faster, XS-based encoder/decoder.
CBOR::XS isn’t quite as fast as CBOR::Free but is older and (as of this writing) more widely used. It’s also technically unsupported on current Perl versions, though, and its GPL license makes it useful only for open-source projects.
