# CBOR

[![builds.sr.ht status](https://builds.sr.ht/~arestifo/crystal-cbor.svg)](https://builds.sr.ht/~arestifo/crystal-cbor?)

This library implements the [RFC7049: Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR)][rfc]
in Crystal.

## Features

- Full RFC7049 support
- Full support for diagnostic notation

## 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`.

   ```yaml
   dependencies:
     cbor:
       git: https://git.sr.ht/~arestifo/crystal-cbor
   ```

2. Run `shards install`
