CBOR Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

Overview

The CBOR(Concise Binary Object Representation) is a binary data serialization format which is similar to JSON but with smaller footprint. This example will illustrate how to encode and decode CBOR data using the APIs provided by tinycbor.

For detailed information about how CBOR encoding and decoding works, please refer to REF7049 or cbor.io;

How to use example

Hardware Required

This example should be able to run on any commonly available ESP32 development board.

Build and Flash

Run idf.py -p PORT flash monitor to build and flash the project.

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
