libcbor Documentation

This is the development reference of libcbor. If you are looking for the user documentation, you should probably head to the homepage.

Where to start

A couple of pointers for you to start with: 0x00000000, 0xDEADBEEF.

If you just want to peek under the hood, have a look at:

• src/cbor/common.h
• src/cbor/encoding.h
• src/cbor.h

If you want to implement your own decoder or see how the default one is made:

• src/cbor/internal/builder_callbacks.h
• src/cbor/internal/stack.h

For details on encoding and packing (could be useful when porting to exotic platforms):

• src/cbor/internal/encoders.h
• src/cbor/internal/loaders.h

Streaming driver:

• src/cbor/streaming.h

Manipulation routines for particular types:

• src/cbor/ints.h
• src/cbor/bytestrings.h
• src/cbor/strings.h
• src/cbor/arrays.h
• src/cbor/maps.h
• src/cbor/tags.h
• src/cbor/floats_ctrls.h
