Any .NET implementation of Concise Binary Object Representation(CBOR)?


I'm on the look-out for any implementations of this new binary data representation.


Solution

  • You can try the .Net 5.0 Extension provided by MS

      <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
      </PropertyGroup>
    

    https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Formats.Cbor/5.0.0

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.formats.cbor

    https://github.com/dotnet/performance/search?q=cbor

    Here you have an sample to write and read:

    using System;
    using System.Formats.Cbor;
    
    var writer = new CborWriter();
            
    writer.WriteStartArray(3);
    writer.WriteInt64(DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.ToUnixTimeMilliseconds());
    writer.WriteInt32(1);
    writer.WriteStartArray(1);
    writer.WriteInt32(9);
    writer.WriteEndArray();
    writer.WriteEndArray();
            
    var myByteArray = writer.Encode();
        
        
    var reader = new CborReader(data);
        
    reader.ReadStartArray();
    long unixDT = reader.ReadInt64();
    int myInt = reader.ReadInt32();
    reader.ReadStartArray();
    int myInt2 = reader.ReadInt32();
    reader.ReadEndArray();
    reader.ReadEndArray();
        
    var response = new object[]
        {
            unixDT,
            myInt,
            new object[] { myInt2 }
        };
    

    Cheers
