cbordec: CBOR Decode

In secretbase: Cryptographic Hash, Extendable-Output and Binary/Text Encoding Functions

CBOR Decode

Description

Decode CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation, RFC 8949) data to an R object.

Usage

cbordec(x)

Arguments

x	A raw vector containing CBOR-encoded data.

Details

CBOR types map to R types as follows:

• Integers: integer (if within range) or double

• Float16/Float32/Float64: double

• Byte strings: raw vectors

• Text strings: character

• false/true: logical

• null: NULL

• undefined: NA

• Arrays: lists

• Maps: named lists (keys must be text strings)

Note: CBOR arrays always decode to lists, so R atomic vectors encoded via cborenc() will decode to lists rather than vectors.

Value

The decoded R object.

Examples

# Round-trip encoding
original <- list(a = 1L, b = "test", c = TRUE)
cbordec(cborenc(original))
