The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data

earlier binary serializations such as ASN.1 and MessagePack.
When implementing CBOR serialization/parsing I got the
impression that it was remarkably similar to MessagePack except
late. Dis you spot anything different?
Not much in the sense of implementation, but it has text type,
indefinite-length encoding, tags and can be easily extended if
needed. I think of it as of better msgpack.
