CBOR

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

Features

• Full support for diagnostic notation
• Assign a field to a type base on the CBOR tag
• Support for a wide range of IANA CBOR Tags

Limitations

Half-precision floating point is not supported

Crystal doesn't have a Float16 type, so half-precision floating point numbers are not supported for the time being.

If you know of a way to solve handle half-precision float, a contribution would be really appreciated.

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.
