a binary serialization format, similar in concept to JSON but aiming for greater conciseness. Defined in [RFC7049].
Source: Dr. S.Smith, 2024
It is a binary data serialization format loosely based on JSON authored by C. Bormann. Like JSON it allows the transmission of data objects that contain name–value pairs, but in a more concise manner. This increases processing and transfer speeds at the cost of human readability.
It is defined in IETF RFC 8949.[1]
CBOR was inspired by MessagePack, which was developed and promoted by Sadayuki Furuhashi. CBOR extended MessagePack, particularly by allowing to distinguish text strings from byte strings, which was implemented in 2013 in MessagePack.[4][5]
