RFC 7049: Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 8949.

Current version: RFC 8949 — Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for version negotiation. These design goals make it different from earlier binary serializations such as ASN.1 and MessagePack.
