What Is CBOR?
CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation) is a binary data format defined in RFC 7049 that provides a compact and efficient encoding for data interchange. It's designed for constrained environments like IoT devices and network protocols.
CBOR is ideal for:
- IoT Devices: Minimal memory and bandwidth usage on microcontrollers.
- Network Protocols: Efficient binary encoding for CoAP and other protocols.
- WebAuthn: Used by the Web Authentication API for credential data.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are nested objects handled?
Nested objects generate their own named type definition, referenced from the parent type. This keeps your code organized and reusable.
How are arrays typed?
Arrays infer their element type from the first item. Arrays of objects generate a collection type of the corresponding object type.
