This package (formerly binary-serialise-cbor) provides pure, efficient
serialization of Haskell values directly into ByteStrings for storage or
transmission purposes. By providing a set of type class instances, you can
also serialise any custom data type you have as well.
The underlying binary format used is the 'Concise Binary Object
Representation', or CBOR, specified in RFC 7049. As a result,
serialised Haskell values have implicit structure outside of the
Haskell program itself, meaning they can be inspected or analyzed
without custom tools.
An implementation of the standard bijection between CBOR and JSON is provided
by the cborg-json package. Also see
cbor-tool for a convenient command-line utility for
working with CBOR data.
