Introduction

nim-cbor-serialization is a library in the nim-serialization family for turning Nim objects into CBOR and back. Features include:

Efficient coding of CBOR directly to and from Nim data types
- Full type-based customization of both encoding and decoding
- Flavors for defining multiple CBOR serialization styles per Nim type
- Efficient skipping of data items for partial CBOR parsing
Flexibility in mixing type-based and dynamic CBOR access
- Structured CborValueRef node type for DOM-style access to parsed data
- Flat CborBytes type for passing nested CBOR data between abstraction layers
RFC8949 spec compliance
- Passes CBORTestVectors
- Customizable parser strictness including support for non-standard extensions
Well-defined handling of malformed / malicious inputs with configurable parsing limits
