Overview
A Dart library for encoding and decoding CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation) data, compliant with RFC8949. It enables efficient serialization of structured data into compact binary format, ideal for IoT, mobile, and web applications where bandwidth and performance matter. The package supports all standard CBOR types and integrates seamlessly with Dart's ecosystem.
Use cases
