cbor, bson etc.

Hi, Daniel!

Do binary formats parsers work?

I have very simple JSON and encoded it with jsoncons into cbor, bson, ubjson, msgpack.
After that I try to decode these files. And get various errors. Only cbor and ubjson work.

On complex JSON I can't read these formats at all.

Judging from feedback from users, all of the binary extensions are used. CBOR is undoubtable the most used. All have test coverage.

If you experience a problem with a particular case, I would suggest to submit an issue.

[AndreyAlifanov]

ok, I'll submit an issue.

Any updates on this issue? Thanks.

Hi.
I'm sorry. It was my mistake. I've fixed it and all works fine.
Except msgpack, but this format is not relevant to me.

[danielaparker]

What was the issue you had with msgpack? Can you provide an example that fails?

[AndreyAlifanov]

I parse json file, save it to msgpack. And can't read this msgpack.
I get
Request for the length of an array, map or string returned a negative result at position 1576

All other formats work well.

Thanks for sending the failing msgpack example. You're right, there was an issue with decoding the length of a string that was triggered by one of the items in your test input. Fixed on master.
