Concise Binary Object Representation
RFC 7049, “Concise Binary Object Representation”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2013 by C. Bormann, P. Hoffman. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8949 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a data format whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for version negotiation. These design goals make it different from earlier binary serializations such as ASN.1 and MessagePack.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
