NAME

CBOR::PP - CBOR in pure Perl

SYNOPSIS

    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 },
    );

DESCRIPTION

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.

STATUS

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.

SEE ALSO

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.
