Concise Binary Object Representation Tags for Typed Arrays
RFC 8746, “Concise Binary Object Representation Tags for Typed Arrays”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2020 by C. Bormann. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), as defined in RFC 7049, 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.
This document makes use of this extensibility to define a number of CBOR tags for typed arrays of numeric data, as well as additional tags for multi-dimensional and homogeneous arrays. It is intended as the reference document for the IANA registration of the CBOR tags defined.
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.
