--- title: "@std/cbor" description: "Utilities for parsing and serializing Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)" jsr: jsr:@std/cbor pkg: cbor version: 0.1.9 generated: true stability: unstable --- :::info Unstable This @std package is experimental and its API may change without a major version bump. ::: ## Overview

Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a binary data serialization format optimized for compactness and efficiency. It is designed to encode a wide range of data types, including integers, strings, arrays, and maps, in a space-efficient manner. RFC 8949 - Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) spec.

Limitations

This implementation only supports the encoding and decoding of "Text String" keys.
This implementation encodes decimal numbers with 64 bits. It takes no effort to figure out if the decimal can be encoded with 32 or 16 bits.
When decoding, integers with a value below 2 ** 32 will be of type number, with all larger integers being of type bigint.

Functions and classes may have more specific limitations listed.

```js import { assert, assertEquals } from "@std/assert"; import { decodeCbor, encodeCbor } from "@std/cbor"; const rawMessage = "I am a raw Message!"; const encodedMessage = encodeCbor(rawMessage); const decodedMessage = decodeCbor(encodedMessage); assert(typeof decodedMessage === "string"); assertEquals(decodedMessage, rawMessage); ``` ### Add to your project ```sh deno add jsr:@std/cbor ``` See all symbols in @std/cbor on
