This library implements the [RFC7049: Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)][rfc] This library implements the [RFC7049: Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)][rfc]
in Crystal. in Crystal.
## Limitations
### Maximum Array/String array/Bytes array length
The spec allows for the maximum length of arrays, string arrays and bytes array
to be a `UInt64`.
While this library supports lengths expressed as a `UInt64`, it must not exceed
`Int32::MAX`.
### Diagnostic notation
While this library implements a diagnostic notation to be able to run against
the examples provided in the RFC, the diagnostic notation is not fully
spec-compliant:
- Indefinite length items are not marked with the starting underscore but
represented as their finite counterparts.
