Package cbor is a modern CBOR codec (RFC 8949 & RFC 7049) with CBOR tags,
Go struct tags (toarray/keyasint/omitempty), Core Deterministic Encoding,
CTAP2, Canonical CBOR, float64->32->16, and duplicate map key detection.
Encoding options allow "preferred serialization" by encoding integers and floats
to their smallest forms (e.g. float16) when values fit.
Struct tags like "keyasint", "toarray" and "omitempty" make CBOR data smaller
and easier to use with structs.
For example, "toarray" tag makes struct fields encode to CBOR array elements. And
"keyasint" makes a field encode to an element of CBOR map with specified int key.

# Basics
The Quick Start guide is at https://github.com/fxamacker/cbor#quick-start
Function signatures identical to encoding/json include:
Marshal, Unmarshal, NewEncoder, NewDecoder, (*Encoder).Encode, (*Decoder).Decode.
Standard interfaces include:
BinaryMarshaler, BinaryUnmarshaler, Marshaler, and Unmarshaler.
Custom encoding and decoding is possible by implementing standard interfaces for
user-defined Go types.
Codec functions are available at package-level (using defaults options) or by
creating modes from options at runtime.
"Mode" in this API means definite way of encoding (EncMode) or decoding (DecMode).
EncMode and DecMode interfaces are created from EncOptions or DecOptions structs.
em, err := cbor.EncOptions{...}.EncMode()
em, err := cbor.CanonicalEncOptions().EncMode()
em, err := cbor.CTAP2EncOptions().EncMode()
Modes use immutable options to avoid side-effects and simplify concurrency. Behavior of
modes won't accidentally change at runtime after they're created.
Modes are intended to be reused and are safe for concurrent use.
EncMode and DecMode Interfaces
// EncMode interface uses immutable options and is safe for concurrent use.
type EncMode interface {
Marshal(v interface{}) ([]byte, error)
NewEncoder(w io.Writer) *Encoder
EncOptions() EncOptions // returns copy of options
}
// DecMode interface uses immutable options and is safe for concurrent use.
type DecMode interface {
Unmarshal(data []byte, v interface{}) error
NewDecoder(r io.Reader) *Decoder
DecOptions() DecOptions // returns copy of options
}
Using Default Encoding Mode
b, err := cbor.Marshal(v)
encoder := cbor.NewEncoder(w)
err = encoder.Encode(v)
Using Default Decoding Mode
err := cbor.Unmarshal(b, &v)
decoder := cbor.NewDecoder(r)
err = decoder.Decode(&v)
Creating and Using Encoding Modes
// Create EncOptions using either struct literal or a function.
opts := cbor.CanonicalEncOptions()
// If needed, modify encoding options
opts.Time = cbor.TimeUnix
// Create reusable EncMode interface with immutable options, safe for concurrent use.
em, err := opts.EncMode()
// Use EncMode like encoding/json, with same function signatures.
b, err := em.Marshal(v)
// or
encoder := em.NewEncoder(w)
err := encoder.Encode(v)
// NOTE: Both em.Marshal(v) and encoder.Encode(v) use encoding options
// specified during creation of em (encoding mode).

# Struct Tags
Struct tags like `cbor:"name,omitempty"` and `json:"name,omitempty"` work as expected.
If both struct tags are specified then `cbor` is used.
Struct tags like "keyasint", "toarray", and "omitempty" make it easy to use
very compact formats like COSE and CWT (CBOR Web Tokens) with structs.
For example, "toarray" makes struct fields encode to array elements. And "keyasint"
makes struct fields encode to elements of CBOR map with int keys.

# Tests and Fuzzing
Over 375 tests are included in this package. Cover-guided fuzzing is handled by
a private fuzzer that replaced fxamacker/cbor-fuzz years ago.
