I'm proud to announce the release of org.conman.cbor 1.0.0, the most
comprehensive CBOR module in the Lua universe (to mangle a quote from
daurnimator). This is the full CBOR monty---all items from RFC-7049 [1] and
all registered extentions from the IANA [2]. Easy to use:
local cbor = require "org.conman.cbor"
data =
{
name = "Sean Conner",
userid = "spc476",
login =
{
active = true,
lastlogin = os.time(),
}
}
enc = cbor.encode(data)
new = cbor.decode(enc)
but we can also deal with degenerate cases like this:
x = {}
x.x = x
-- 2nd parameter is starting offset,
-- 3rd parameter informs cbor.encode() to deal with cycles
enc = cbor.encode(data,1,{})
Available via LuaRocks [3] and on github [4].
