Crate dcbor 

dCBOR: Deterministic CBOR Codec

dcbor is a reference implementation of Deterministic CBOR. The current specification of the norms and practices guiding the creation of this implementation are currently found in this IETF Internet Draft: draft-mcnally-deterministic-cbor.

Getting Started

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
dcbor = "0.23.2"

Features

Multi-threaded

The multithreaded feature is available but not enabled by default. It uses Arc for reference counting instead of Rc. To enable it, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies.dcbor]
version = "0.22.0"
features = ["multithreaded"]

no_std

The dcbor library is no_std compatible. To use it in a no_std environment, disable the default features in your Cargo.toml and enable the no_std feature:

[dependencies.dcbor]
version = "0.21.1"
default-features = false
features = ["no_std"]

Usage

Encode an array of integers as CBOR.

use dcbor::prelude::*;
let array = [1000, 2000, 3000];
let cbor: CBOR = array.into();
assert_eq!(cbor.hex(), "831903e81907d0190bb8");

Decode CBOR binary back to an array of integers.

use dcbor::prelude::*;
let data = hex_literal::hex!("831903e81907d0190bb8");
let cbor = CBOR::try_from_data(&data).unwrap();
assert_eq!(cbor.diagnostic(), "[1000, 2000, 3000]");
let array: Vec<u32> = cbor.try_into().unwrap();
assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", array), "[1000, 2000, 3000]");

See the unit tests For further examples, including encoding and decoding arrays with heterogenous elements, maps, and user-defined types with custom CBOR tags.

Modules

prelude

walk

Functions for traversing and manipulating CBOR data structures.

Macros

cbor_tag

const_cbor_tag

with_tags

A macro for accessing the global tags store in a read-only manner.

with_tags_mut

A macro for accessing the global tags store in a mutable manner.

Structs

Arc

A thread-safe reference-counting pointer. ‘Arc’ stands for ‘Atomically Reference Counted’.

Box

A pointer type that uniquely owns a heap allocation of type T.

ByteString

Represents a CBOR byte string (major type 2).

CBOR

A symbolic representation of CBOR data.

Date

A CBOR-friendly representation of a date and time.

DiagFormatOpts

HashMap

A hash map implemented with quadratic probing and SIMD lookup.

HashSet

A hash set implemented as a HashMap where the value is ().

HexFormatOpts

LazyTagsStore

Map

Map Support in dCBOR

MapIter

An iterator over the entries of a CBOR map.

Set

SetIter

String

A UTF-8–encoded, growable string.

Tag

Represents a CBOR tag (major type 6) with optional associated name.

TagsStore

A registry that maintains mappings between CBOR tags, their human-readable names, and optional summarizers.

Vec

A contiguous growable array type, written as Vec<T>, short for ‘vector’.

Enums

CBORCase

An enum representing all possible CBOR data types.

Error

A comprehensive set of errors that can occur during CBOR encoding and decoding operations, with special focus on enforcing the deterministic encoding rules specified in the dCBOR specification.

Simple

Represents CBOR simple values (major type 7).
