The QCborValue class encapsulates a value in CBOR.

C++ class: QCborValue.

C++ documentation:

The QCborValue class encapsulates a value in CBOR.

This class can be used to hold one of the many types available in CBOR. CBOR is the Concise Binary Object Representation, a very compact form of binary data encoding that is a superset of JSON. It was created by the IETF Constrained RESTful Environments (CoRE) WG, which has used it in many new RFCs. It is meant to be used alongside the CoAP protocol.

CBOR has three groups of built-in types:

• Basic types: integers, floating point (double), boolean, null, etc.
• String-like types: strings and byte arrays
• Containers: arrays and maps

Additionally, CBOR supports a form of type extensibility by associating a "tag" to one of the above types to convey more information. For example, a UUID is represented by a tag and a byte array containing the 16 bytes of the UUID content. QCborValue supports creating and decoding several of those extended types directly with Qt classes (like QUuid).

For the complete list, see QCborValue::Type. The type of a QCborValue can be queried using type() or one of the "isXxxx" functions.
