cbor-web

cbor-web

This package bundles the cbor package for easy use on the web. The following packages are bundled in as well, to reduce the degree of difficulty:

• buffer
• node-inspect-extracted
• nofilter
• process
• stream-browserify

In addition, if you want support for big decimal and big float numbers, you'll need your own version of bignumber.js. Decoding c4820a0a (hex) will give you a BigNumber if you have everything installed correctly.

Examples

You can see cbor-web in action on the web here.

Ways to use this

• you can load this in a script tag, which puts a cbor property on the window object:

<script src='https://unpkg.com/bignumber.js'></script> <!-- optional -->

<script src='https://unpkg.com/cbor-web'></script>

• You can bundle this with parcel, webpack, browserify, etc.
• You can require('cbor-web') from node.js, but I wouldn't recommend that unless you're trying to use the exact same paths for backend and frontend codebases, for example.
• You can import cbor from 'cbor-web' in either node or in some web contexts. Caveats to using in node are the same as above, but someimes you might really want an ES6 module, and be willing to deal with the downsides. Note that as soon as Node 10 is no longer supported, the make cbor package will work toward becoming a native ES6 module.
