| 1 | +# CBOR Kit (`cbork`) |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This is a CLI tool for operating with CDDL and CBOR. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +It will grow over time to provide a number of features, and will be supported by individual `cbork-*` crates. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Install |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +To install this tool run |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +```shell |
| 12 | +cargo install --git https://github.com/input-output-hk/catalyst-libs.git cbork |
| 13 | +``` |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Features |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### CDDL linter |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +[CDDL](#cddl-specifications) (Concise Data Definition Language) |
| 20 | +linting CLI tool. |
| 21 | +Enables users to check their CDDL code for errors, inconsistencies, and compliance with the CDDL specification. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +#### Currently supports |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +* [CDDL][1] |
| 26 | +* [CDDL Errata][2] |
| 27 | +* [CDDL Extensions][3] |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +#### Planned support for |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +* [CDDL Modules][4] |
| 32 | +* [CDDL Module Standard Library][5] |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Planned Future Tools within the CLI |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +* [ ] A tool to generate a Rust module to decode/encode/validate Data efficiently from a [CDDL](#cddl-specifications) definition. |
| 37 | +* [ ] A tool to simply validate [CBOR][6] binary data against a [CDDL](#cddl-specifications) definition. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Notes |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +There are semantic rules about well-formed [CDDL](#cddl-specifications) files that are not enforced by the grammar. |
| 42 | +The full parser does not support these rules currently, but is planned to be extended to validate |
| 43 | +those rules in future |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The primary rule that is not currently enforced is that the very first definition in the file is the base type. |
| 46 | +We also cannot detect orphaned or missing definitions. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +Both of these are planned for a future release of the tool. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +There may be other checks needed to be performed on the parsed AST for validity. |
