to parse/encode CBOR you can use the Cbor
static class.
export declare class Cbor {
private constructor();
static encode(cborObj: CborObj): CborString;
static parse(cbor: CborString | Uint8Array | string): CborObj;
}
parse
allows you to go from a thing that can represent CBOR (a CborString
object is always valid) to a CborObj
encode
takes a CborObj
and returns a CborString
.
is an object that represents a valid CBOR string;
extending a ByteString
includes:
toString
method that returns a lower case hex string.toBuffer
method that returns theUint8Array
representation of the string.
class CborString {
toString(): string
toBuffer(): Uint8Array
}
result of Cbor.parse
; represents a generic CBOR tag corresponding to one of the possible Major types.
