# [libcbor](https://github.com/PJK/libcbor) [](https://travis-ci.org/PJK/libcbor) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/PJK/libcbor) [](https://readthedocs.org/projects/libcbor/?badge=latest) [](https://repology.org/project/libcbor/versions) [](https://codecov.io/gh/PJK/libcbor) **libcbor** is a C library for parsing and generating [CBOR](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049), the general-purpose schema-less binary data format. ## Main features - Complete RFC conformance - Robust C99 implementation - Layered architecture offers both control and convenience - Flexible memory management - No shared global state - threading friendly - Proper handling of UTF-8 - Full support for streams & incremental processing - Extensive documentation and test suite - No runtime dependencies, small footprint ## Getting started ### Compile from source ```bash git clone https://github.com/PJK/libcbor cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCBOR_CUSTOM_ALLOC=ON libcbor make make install ``` ### Homebrew ```bash brew install libcbor ``` ### Ubuntu 18.04 and above ```bash sudo add-apt-repository universe sudo apt-get install libcbor-dev ``` ### Fedora & RPM friends ```bash yum install libcbor-devel ``` ### Others <details> <summary>Packaged libcbor is available from 15+ major repositories. Click here for more detail</summary> [](https://repology.org/project/libcbor/versions) </details> ## Usage example ```c #include <cbor.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { /* Preallocate the map structure */ cbor_item_t * root = cbor_new_definite_map(2); /* Add the content */ cbor_map_add(root, (struct cbor_pair) { .key = cbor_move(cbor_build_string("Is CBOR awesome?")), .value = cbor_move(cbor_build_bool(true)) }); cbor_map_add(root, (struct cbor_pair) { .key = cbor_move(cbor_build_uint8(42)), .value = cbor_move(cbor_build_string("Is the answer")) }); /* Output: `length` bytes of data in the `buffer` */ unsigned char * buffer; size_t buffer_size, length = cbor_serialize_alloc(root, &buffer, &buffer_size); fwrite(buffer, 1, length, stdout); free(buffer); fflush(stdout); cbor_decref(&root); } ``` ## Documentation Get the latest documentation at [libcbor.readthedocs.org](http://libcbor.readthedocs.org/) ## Contributions All bug reports and contributions are welcome.
